So you're not getting a connection at all on 5901? Do you have wireshark
installed? What VNC client are you using to connect? Have you
enabled/disable encryption at both ends of the link?
Have you looked at the settings in Yast -> Network Services -> Remote
Administration (vnc)?
Have you tried connecting to port 5801 using a web browser (with Java)?
Sorry to be asking so many questions - just going through the list of
things that I can think of that could contribute to the problem...
Not a connection at all, i get connection refused. I do not have wireshark
installed. Using the free vnc viewer and have enabled/disabled encryption.
I don't have yast>network services>remote administration
Can not connect on port 5801 from firefox2
NP's on the questions, i appreciate the help!
Hmmm. Try connecting to port 5900 instead of 5901. Some VNC servers listen
there for connections instead (I believe that it is the default port for
vnc).
If you're getting "connection refused" I can thing of 2 reasons;
1. The VNC server that you're trying to connect to is not listening on the
port that you're trying to connect to...
2. The IP address that you're trying to connect from does not have permission
to connect to the VNC server (i.e. the server that you're running is not
configured to accept connections from that IP address or subnet).
Check your server configuration again.
Did you install the vnc server via Yast? If not, try uninstalling it and
reinstall it via Yast control panel. That should install the appropriate
config module into the Yast control panel under network services.
There are a number of packages listed in the Yast software management module
(search for vnc). The first one in my list is kdenetwork3-vnc. You can also
find it by selecting Patterns -> Desktop Functions -> Remote Desktop (in
Yast's Software Management module).
If all else fails, install wireshark on both the client and the server and
start a capture on the relevant network interfaces (assuming you can see both
machines at once while you're testing it). That way you'll be able to see the
data being exchanged (or not) between the machines and have a much better
idea of what is going on.
Not only is this a useful troubleshooting technique, it is also a great way to
learn about TCP/IP networking....
Regards,
Rodney.
