    I've set up tightvnc on my Linux box. A partner has tightvnc on Windows 2000.
    We're coupled through a VPN, so we appear to be on a local network.

    If he brings up his server, I can access it with no problem on
    (his ip address):0

    If I bring up my server, he can NOT access it on
    (my ip address):1

    I can access my own server at that address without a problem.

    I have hosts.deny set to ALL: ALL

    I have hosts.allow set to

    #
    # hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are
    # allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
    # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
    #
    ALL: 127.0.0.1
    ALL: 192.168.1.101
    Xvnc: ALL

    His ip address is 192.168.1.101

    I must have left something else out. Any suggestions?
