If you like the way it works it will be somewhat faster if you install it on the hard disk and you can get a current version from http://www.cygwin.com. I usually do a base cygwin install taking the defaults, then repeat checking the X option. > > That error doesn't make much sense unless you have a syntax error. > > Why ? The error isn't saying it can't connect, it says something about the address being invalid which doesn't make sense if you are on the same LAN. > > Does the java view that you'd get by pointing a browser at http://198.222.168.189[b]:5802[/b] > > i will try this , but why did you include this port number 5802 with server ip address ? Xvnc (which is what vncserver starts) provides a mini-web server to download a java viewer applet at port 5800 + the screen number it is serving. Normally the dedicated native viewers are a little better but if you are having a problem you can try it with the applet. Another test is to telnet to port 5900 + screen number. If the vnc server is running and not firewalled you'll get a response like 'RFB 003.008'. You can't do anything useful at that point but it verifys that the server is running and reachable. > > If you enable xdm logins on the fedora > > side > > I will try this as well to see the result I think the xlivecd lets you connect over ssh instead, but if you don't need encryption, a straight xdm connection will be faster. On the fc4 box, run gdmconfig and click the XDCMP tab to get to the place where you enable XDCMP connections. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
