I have one more question... since you guys were so responsive with my pdf problem :) Does anyone know of a solution (linux based preferred, others considered) to push my desktop to a waiting remote PC? Kind of like a "reverse vnc", where the other side doesn't have to request my display, but rather I just give it to him? The particular application I'm thinking of is a small projector setup, where the box connected to the projector is connected to the network, and I can come in, and with this "reverse vnc" process, just push my laptop display to the projector PC to get my screen on the projection screen, rather than having to connect to my laptop from the projector's pc, then go back to my laptop and start my presentation... Or you want to show a non-techie friend something that you're doing, and instead of having him punch in through your firewall to vnc and watch, you can just punch out to him, and export your screen? The other party doesn't have to have control of my box, just see the screen... anything out there like this ya'll can point me to? Thanks.

Thanks. Yah, VNC does exactly that. You can run the vncviewer listening server. This does exactly what you want. I haven't tried this on

Yo, works in linux also.... What you need to do is start a vncviewer "in listen mode" on the projector. Then you can connect to it from your desktop by issuing vncserver --connect <projector-ip>:<displayno> I use this all the time. All my family and most my friends have Icons on thier desktops called "Screen to Jerry". When they double-click it I get a thier screen to help them out with. This method gets around thier firewalls, and dynamic Ip address stuff... Jerry

I've seen the vncviewer listening server, never used it... I'll have to give it a shot... Thanks, Mike
