EGCS is another name for GCC, which was used when GCC temporarily forked (EGCS stands for Experimental GNU Compiler System, GCC was GNU C Compiler but now means GNU Compiler Collection). When the old GCC was dropped because EGCS became mature, EGCS took over the GCC name again albeit with a new meaning. EGCS versions can roughly be equated to early GCC v2.9x.xx version numbers. I definitely remember being able to compile Xvnc using one of the two compilers I mentioned, but it was long enough ago that I can't remember which one. I have very recently compiled XFree86 v4.0.2 successfully using GCC 2.95.2, and I haven't heard of significant problems with XFree86 compilation, except from the RedHat 7.0 crowd (who have trouble with everything). I personally suggest going to www.fsf.org, downloading and compiling the latest 2.95.x version you can find (or use RPM if you feel more comfortable with that) - avoid 2.96.x, that's what RH 7.0 uses - and try again. By the look of it, you're using some recent version of Mandrake, which should be perfectly stable and fine, and have all the right tools installed. If you still have problems after installing the "from the horse's mouth" version of GCC, we'll look into it further. -- from: Jonathan "Chromatix" Morton mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not for attachments) big-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] uni-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The key to knowledge is not to rely on people to teach you it.

Re: Question from the Good ol' U.S. of A.
I use VPN to establish a connection to my internal network from the outside world, and then can use VNC to control my internal machines from a remote location. To do this, I have a WinNT workstation (it could be Win2000 Pro) machine that acts as VPN server. I have a cable router so I use its port forwarding function (called Virtual Server), to forward VPN traffic (port 1723) to my NT box. You would not need to do this if the machine running ICS was the VPN server too (ICS comes with Win2000). Note that if you want to support multiple incoming connections, you must use WinNT Server or Win2000 Server. If you upgrade your WinME machine to Win2000 (approx $200) you could implement a solution like this.

All you need is a framebuffer and TCP/IP stack to vncview the OS of your choice on your home/work machine. We approximate that now by running vncviewer on a notebook running linux and on a pen based flat panel (Fujitsu Stylus) running Windows.

RE: Firewall question..
Eric, As a user of the LinkSys box, this is sounding fishy. Are you, by any chance, using the DHCP server of the firewall? Have you updated to the latest firmware? Used to be that certain port forwarding or filtering features wouldn't work if you were using the DHCP server (don't ask me why). Could be the culprit, particularly if making your box a DMZ host makes it work. As far as correct ports, it depends on the display. If you're using 0 (like most of us), then 5900 and 5800 are the only ports you need to forward.

New subscriber here (thanks for the idea David!!). VNC has worked well for me so far but for one issue. I cannot get my Linksys router to forward ports properly through its firewall. I am forwarding port 5800 and 5900 to the static internal IP of my machine, but no matter what I do I cannot get it to work from the outside. I have enabled Remote Administration of the router, so I can go in and manually put my machine in the DMZ from the outside world, and then access VNC just fine either with through the web server or the VNC client. Obviously, this leaves me wide open to the rest of the world and I already had a problem getting hacked when I forgot and left my machine in the DMZ for a long period of time.

I connect through IE at work on port 5800 with no problems assuming my machine at home has been put in the DMZ. You are right about something fishy going on. I've even had a couple of replies off-list and it seems to me that I am doing everything right here. I'm beginning to wonder if something isn't wrong with my router. Someone off-list mentioned that it could be a firewall problem at work. That's a possibility, but only a remote one. I tend to think not since I can connect through port 5800 on IE and using the VNC client itself. I'm going to give telnet a host at work on Tuesday and see what kind of message I get.

It's justified if you want security; transferring files via FTP is completely insecure.

Re: kernel hooks
The /dev/fb is no problem, I'd just have to subclass rfb::Framebuffer. The real work is to convert keyboard input from /dev/tty... to X Windows (RFB) keycodes and to get mouse events from /dev/mouse or gpm. I didn't have much time to check this out yet. Any ideas? Btw, I'd use a linux 2.4.x kernel for that, they've got more framebuffer drivers. So, whats needed? - Kernel with /dev/fb and network support - linux 2.4 - /sbin/init binary and a small sh-script - simpleinit? - a very small shell - ? - a very small libc (not glibc, it's too large) - ? - insmod / ifconfig / route (to configure the nic) - loadkeys (not everybody's got an english keyboard) - gpm (mouse driver) - a vnc client supporting /dev/fb, /dev/tty and gpm Did I miss anything?

Getting Bels to work in VNC
I am running a VNC 3.3.3 server on an NT system and the same version VNC viewer on another NT system. VNC is working fine between these systems for letting me see and control the screen on the system running the server. The problem I'm having is that so far I haven't managed to get BEL characters emitted by an application on the server machine to cause a sound on the machine running the viewer. I'd be grateful for any assistance in getting this to work.

Debian's bootfloppies could be used for this - the boot-floppies package has a set of scripts to build a boot floppy (actually 2 floppies now the kernel has grown so much, but this could be squeezed back down to 1 presumably). This includes busybox, which could be used on its own - there is also a busybox-static package :- Package: busybox-static Priority: optional Section: shells Installed-Size: 872 Maintainer: Erik Andersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Source: busybox Version: 0.48-1 Filename: pool/main/b/busybox/busybox-static_0.48-1_i386.deb Size: 403218 MD5sum: ac1713a40ad025896ee112874d3d9ebb Description: Provides a stand alone rescue shell with tons of builtin utilities. BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e. ls, cp, mv, mount, tar, etc). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. . BusyBox-static provides you with a statically linked simple stand alone shell that provides all the utilities available in BusyBox. This package is intended to be used as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your system. Invoke "busybox sh" and you have a standalone shell ready to save your system from certain destruction. Invoke "busybox", and it will list the available builtin commands. But busybox does not seem to contain networking commands itself (well it has telnet, but no ifconfig, netstat, route). The boot-floppies scripts require additional packages to build a boot floppy. Sincerely, Adrian Phillips -- Your mouse has moved. Windows NT must be restarted for the change to take effect. Reboot now?
