Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStruct ================================================================ 1) Why am I getting the unix/:7100 error and what is "nil2" ? Is this a problem? 2) When I try to connect using vncviewer on my windows box and use the entry: linux:5903:3, I get the error: Failed to connect to server: linux:3 3) Is it possible that I am being firewalled blocked or something? One other thing. Since I had a heckuva time trying to figure out how to open the vnc ports using iptables, I opted to use the firestarter package and open the vnc ports there. I hope this program does not conflict with the iptables firewall. I have used this program in FC4 and it worked like a charm. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
