    Hi, excuse my illiteracy, but where exactly do I go to uncomment the lines?
    Also when connecting from other places than computers on my LAN, do I use
    the WAN IP address (assigned to the router) in the following manner?

    WAN_IP:1

    Many thanks,

    V

    My xstartup looked nearly the same. I uncommented the exec... line
    earlier and just now uncommented the unset... line. After rebooting
    (and restarting vncserver) and closing the firewall it came up just the
    way I expected it to. Now, how can I configure the firewall to accept
    vnc connections without turning it off? And how can I get vncserver to
    start on boot?

    I thought I heard once that I don't need a VNC client to do this as X11
    will do it if it is configured correctly. Is this a correct statement
    or am I required to use a client?

    Thanks,
    Jeremy
