RE: VNC Client

Title: Message

Has anyone successfully user the vncserver that comes with fedora core 1?  I can not connect to the server.  I am using a vnc client (real vnc) on Windows XP trying to talk to the VNCserver on fedora.  I have disabled all firewalls but can't connect to the server still.  A Sniffer trace shows destination port 5900 but the vncserver keeps sending a TCP reset during session negation.

 

Anyone have any ideas?  I have used vnc for MS Windows to MS Windows but not from MS Windows to Fedora.

 

Thanks,

OK,  I found the client.  Many versions and sources not really sure 
which one to use.  The problem now is how to get the fedora firewall 
to allow port 5900 through.  During the install there was an
opportunity to
add ports.  Does anyone know how to bring this GUI back up or is there
    

Unfortunately, IIRC, The Stock FC GUI does not really allow you to put
in 
the ports # you want. I think I couldn't even put in SMB ports there. 
I can't remember, I've removed the RPM.

I'm now using Shorewall. (www.shorewall.net) 
I've heard of Guarddog and a few others which is GUI based.

I'm comfy with SHorewall. So..
