I am running a small network of various computers and want to be able to configure each of them so that I can administer them remotely via remote desktop (aka VNC) The way I have been doing this is to assign each computer its own port for its server to listen on, so Comp A is listening on 5900, Comp B is listening on 5901, etc. I use the SuSE Control Center to configure the remote desktop server on each computer, and start the server via the inetd daemon. I have configured my SuSE firewall computer to route incoming requests to the appropriate computer. In the past all this has worked fine. I recently upgraded one of my computers, a laptop, to SuSE 10.0. and tried to configure it to accept incoming requests on a port other than port 0 - 5900 (for example port 1 - 5901) and have failed. The only port I can get the remote desktop to work with is port 0 - 5900. If I assign it any other port, other than 5900, and then try to connect to it with a viewer, I do not get the authentication process (i.e. the request for a password) to occur and the viewer will open up with a blank (grayed out) screen and then hangs. As I stated however, if I assign the server 5900, the base address of ports, everything works fine, I do get the request for the password and the viewer does open up correctly with a display of the desktop of the remote computer. For the moment I am able to get around this by routing through the firewall and redirecting incoming requests to port 0 - 5900 on the appropriate computer but this requires I assign every computer a static address and not use my internal DHCP server, not what I want to do in the long run.... Is anyone else having troubles with the remote desktop in SuSE 10.0, with the server configured to use a port other than 0 - 5900? Did something break? Marc.....
