I have Tightvnc running on the Windows box and use remote desktop to access it, it works fine. Connect to <ip of windows box>:0 for
display
0. I have never tried to use the native XP remote desktop as the server if that is what you are asking....
The other Linux box needs to be running something like vncserver i think in order to listen for the connection. then you will connect to <ip of linux box>:1 for display 1.
hope this helps ~j
1) make sure that you have remote desktop sharing (KDE) or VNC (Linux or Windows) configured on the remote host 2) connect to <ip addr of remote host>:0
Hi, thanks for the info. I downloaded a VNC server from the internet called realvnc (http://www.realvnc.com/download.html) and installed in my windows machine. I was able to connect from my linux PC to my windows PC, however, from my windows PC to my linux PC was not possible. Well I did it but I could only see the screen and couldn't do anything. I used the remote desktop sharing from suse, however it allows me only to connect for one hour and gives me a password.
Wrong. It gives you one hour in which to make the connection. Once you connect it will stay connected until you break the connection.
How do I activate a vncserver in linux? I entered the start internet services in yast and activated the vnc things, however how should I configure the vncserver in linux and start it because it seems not to be running.
Thanks
Jose
