Thanks for your reply. I don't have a firewall configured for either of my machines. (don't need one at the moment) What happen is that I am using a laptop and a PC. The PC has sshd running on it. I use my laptop to control my PC through a network connection (internal network). So, I ssh into my PC from my laptop, tried to start the vncserver by typing "vncserver", before I run vncviewer on my laptop to 'see' the PC. The problem now is that there is some authorized thingy in the vncserver logs on the PC after I run the "vncserver" command through ssh. The vncserver is unable to start properly. (or rather KDE is unable to start properly due to: AUDIT: Fri May 3 02:00:24 2002: 817 Xvnc: client 1 rejected from local host Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server xsetroot: unable to open display ':1' and many others similar lines with the final lines: ksmserver: cannot connect to X server :1 kdeinit: Fatal IO error: client killed kdeinit: sending SIGHUP to children. kdeinit: sending SIGTERM to children. kdeinit: Exit. So, I would more correctly say that Xvnc started ok, but due to some authorization thingy, KDE is unable to connect to Xvnc (since KDE is the client here right?). So, how can I go about solving this problem? I tried to start vncserver from the console of my PC and it works wonderfully. But I don't want to do that. I want to do the above.
