I used to be able to connect to my linux desktop via vnc (from home via VPN). But all of a sudden it just stopped working. All I get is "Failed to connect to server". I can't even connect from my other PC in my office. The only thing I can seem to get working is Xvnc, which is not what I want. Every time I try to start "vncserver", it starts up Xvnc.... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Mike --------------------------------- Cleary_Mike@emc.com --------------------------------- Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while.

It is supposed to. vncserver is a shell script that starts up Xvnc. When you type in vncserver and press ENTER what does it say? Do you pass any options to it on the command line? Without doing something like vncserver :2, vnc will start up the next available session. If your vncserver crashed it may have left the /tmp/.X11-unix/Xwhatever lock there. Greg Engel
