jleaman Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 The only way i can get it to work is to log in at the computer and go into the control pannel and turn it on in there but once i close the control pannel the vnc server stops.. If i go into services it is running.. i just cant connect to it.. i tried vncserver in terminal but this is what came up. login as: root root@192.168.0.15's password: Last login: Mon May 30 21:13:47 2005 [root@odie root]# vncserver New 'X' desktop is odie:1 Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /root/.vnc/odie:1.log [root@odie root]* [root@odie root] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaglin Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Well, that seems normal to me so far, you need to log at the adress: 192.168.0.15:1 I suppose and enter your password. Sorry I can t see what is going wrong, as I said I am a new user too! Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddmcse Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 to be able to vnc to home from the laptop you need the wan IP for the server and port 5801 open.. access the machine via wan IP i.e. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5801 you may have a gui installed located in /internet/remote access "remote desktop connection" i forget the name of the package right now . anyway it will work using a java enabled browser http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5801 knowing your wan ip ofcourse it looks like you have the correct syntax for the server and it's running . you might not want to serve a VNC session for your "root" account but rather vnc serve a regular user and su commands while logged in as the regular user krfb is the package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
