I've searched for vnc related problems in this forum and for vnc man and install pages in FC2, but nothing mentions this kind of problem. The same problem exists no matter which vnc client I run on WinXP, beta 4.0 of vncviewer from realvnc.com, TightVNC, or UltraVNC, namely that the attempt to connect times out. error: unable to connect to host. A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host. (10065) The FC2 and WinXP boxes are both on my private home network, getting their addresses from a DHCP router. The WinXP can successfully ping the FC2 box. But all attempts at connecting to the server that I manually started on the FC2 box timeout. I've tried with and without the -SecurityTypes=none vncserver argument. The vncserver log reports an error relating to a directory that doesn't exist, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/, having to do with a security policy file and the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/ exists but is empty. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Xvnc version 4.0b4 - built Apr 14 2004 12:42:18 Underlying X server release 40300000, The XFree86 Project, Inc Thu May 20 21:28:10 2004 vncext: VNC extension running! vncext: Listening for VNC connections on port 5901 vncext: Listening for HTTP connections on port 5801 vncext: created VNC server for screen 0 error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do I need to enable the 5901 port somehow?
