I have set up a few systems with 10.3 as Samba Servers.
I have AFAIK activated VNC Server and opened the Firewall ports.
I have also set the Router to redirect Ports 5800 and 5900.
Still I can't get a connection, What am I missing, and what is the preferred client for the Built in VNC...? Windows XP Client tried TightVNC and RealVNC..
I've had a bit of an issue with this as well. Seems really difficult under openSUSE.
I finally got a connection tonight using both openSUSE systems...

...it wouldn't connect - even with all firewalls open and a password set - until I'd clicked "allow connection" on the remote side.
This is odd, since I often connect to one or more openSUSE computers at work from Vista.

(That's actually me using VMWare to run XP, which is connecting to my Vista machine at work via RDP and then connecting to my openSUSE desktop via VNC.)
I've not used VNC in awhile - FreeNX allows a graphical login over SSH2 - more secure than VNC, and in my experience, much faster. Plus, it's -alot- easier to setup and manage. The FreeNX server may already be installed an your system; you can use the nomachine.org's free clients to connect to your server.. - Adam -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
