I just installed 10.3, use to use SLED. On SLED, i installed kdenetwork-vnc and was able to connect to the SLED pc on port 5901. I installed kdenetwork-vnc on 10.3 and can not connect on port 5901 to the 10.3 box. What else do you need to connect to the 10.3 box on port 5901? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Check the vnc configuration to see what ports it is listening on. Also check the default firewall settings in Yast to make sure that the vnc ports are open (they're closed by default).

The firewall is disabled. By port 5901, i mean that on port 5901 the remote connection will take me to the login screen and on 5900 the remote connection will only work if logged in already. Not sure if i am making sense? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So you're not getting a connection at all on 5901? Do you have wireshark installed? What VNC client are you using to connect? Have you enabled/disable encryption at both ends of the link? Have you looked at the settings in Yast -> Network Services -> Remote Administration (vnc)? Have you tried connecting to port 5801 using a web browser (with Java)? Sorry to be asking so many questions - just going through the list of things that I can think of that could contribute to the problem...

Not a connection at all, i get connection refused. I do not have wireshark installed. Using the free vnc viewer and have enabled/disabled encryption. I don't have yast>network services>remote administration Can not connect on port 5801 from firefox2 NP's on the questions, i appreciate the help! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hmmm. Try connecting to port 5900 instead of 5901. Some VNC servers listen there for connections instead (I believe that it is the default port for vnc). If you're getting "connection refused" I can thing of 2 reasons; 1. The VNC server that you're trying to connect to is not listening on the port that you're trying to connect to... 2. The IP address that you're trying to connect from does not have permission to connect to the VNC server (i.e. the server that you're running is not configured to accept connections from that IP address or subnet). Check your server configuration again. Did you install the vnc server via Yast? If not, try uninstalling it and reinstall it via Yast control panel. That should install the appropriate config module into the Yast control panel under network services. There are a number of packages listed in the Yast software management module (search for vnc). The first one in my list is kdenetwork3-vnc. You can also find it by selecting Patterns -> Desktop Functions -> Remote Desktop (in Yast's Software Management module). If all else fails, install wireshark on both the client and the server and start a capture on the relevant network interfaces (assuming you can see both machines at once while you're testing it). That way you'll be able to see the data being exchanged (or not) between the machines and have a much better idea of what is going on. Not only is this a useful troubleshooting technique, it is also a great way to learn about TCP/IP networking....

Did you go to yast->network services->xinetd and enable vnc? Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
