Hi all! I am looking at using VNCServer as part of a dial-in solution for our network. I have VNC installed on my Linux box (SuSE v8.0 Pro - which I love and have had no problems with - Thanks SuSE!). Once VNCServer is running I am able to connect to it using the VNC Viewer from a Win2K box, however when I try connecting with a web browser (either IE6.0 or Mozilla 1.0) I get errors. IE either comes back saying page not found or it displays some html, Mozilla says there is no data to display. I checked the vnc log and notice that when trying to connect with a web browser it is logging 'GET line too long'. Please note that I am not attempting to connect via a proxy server as the VNC faq says this can cause problems. The faq also notes that there could be problems using IE, but I've been able to use IE for this in the past. I was running VNC under SuSE 7.1 pro and was able to connect via a web browser without any problems. The html being displayed by IE is: <!-- index.vnc - default html page for Java VNC viewer applet. On any file ending in .vnc, the HTTP server embedded in Xvnc will substitute the following variables when preceded by a dollar: USER, DESKTOP, DISPLAY, APPLETWIDTH, APPLETHEIGHT, WIDTH, HEIGHT, PORT. Use two dollar signs ($) to get a dollar sign in the generated html. --> <HTML> <TITLE> purdomj's X desktop (penguin1:1) </TITLE> <APPLET CODE=vncviewer.class ARCHIVE=vncviewer.jar WIDTH=1024 HEIGHT=800> <param name=PORT value=5901> </APPLET> </HTML> Has anyone else tried using VNC in 8.0 and connecting with a web browser? Any idea what this error is? I'm running VNC v3.3.3 r2. Thanks in advance. Jesse

It may be a 3.3.3 change. You can now have configuration files for the java applet. I am not at the office to look, but I seem to recall them residing in the same directory as the java libraries. I am still on SuSE 7.3, but I installed tightvnc 1.2.3 which is based on 3.3.3 and found that was one of the changes. You can specifiy the configuration file with server:5801/config, this allows turning off the control panel in the applet, turning on sharing etc. Hope this helps. Greg Engel
