Hello, again. There are some VNC mailing lists and there is a searchable archive here http://www.uk.research.att.com/search.html. I just did a quick search for "suse professional" and found that many VNCers have also encountered this problem with SuSE7. Apparently, instead of using the xvnc popup, run vncviewer from the command line with the hostname as a parameter, e.g. vncviewer bilbo.baggins.com I can't vouch for this personally, since I haven't yet built my home SuSE7 box, so I can't test it right now. Also, the problem appears to occur not just when going from SuSE7 to Windows, but from SuSE7 to SuSE7 too. SuSE7 is definitely the common denominator. Bye for now, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Bishop [mailto:tb64710@ltec.net] Sent: Saturday, October 07, 2000 7:22 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] 7.0Pro-VNC (slightly OT) Mornin' SuS(ers), My tried and true VNCviewer (at least w/6.4) gets "authentication failed" message when trying to connect w/ my windows boxes. They can connect w/ me, however. I have tried all the normal permissions changes, but nada. How in the heck can I screw up my wife's Freecell games without this? ;-) But seriously, I would like this to work as I can monitor the kiddies' surfing now that they have a machine in their room.....I am after all, SuperUser. Anyone else had problems with this?
