Turns out the problem may be with the subnet mask.
We are using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Which
probably needs to be 255.255.255.255 in order to lock VNC
down to a specific pc's ip address.

Could it be something as simple as return routes?
If you had been configuring specific routes before in a startup script, they
may not be working. The syntax of the route command has changed a little.

Seth,
Concerning paranoia, I think that it is not only reasonable, but necessary
to protect your home PC or network with some sort of firewall (or NAT
server) if you are also one of those people who has an "always on"
connection and who accesses their corporate network from home.

Hi there,
I am just a little stumped here so am hoping that someone will be able to

Maybe I didn't make my case clear, or I'm misunderstanding something here.
When I spoke of disabling NPF, I meant that I need to disable NPF on my
WinVNC *client* machine, not the server (host). My server is not running
NPF and doesn't need to be running it. It's behind a protected network.

After all, I do have a workaround where I disable NPF, connect to VNC, and

I think you have to register VNC with NPF as an application that is allowed
to send requests out through the firewall . If not so registered, NPF stops
that port opening (in case the app is a trojan).

Incidentally, it would be very useful for some apps if VNCHooks could also

James, that did the trick. Thanks! I had narrowed it down to VNCHooks.dll or

On Solaris, the below would not work because of too many parameters in
inetd.conf, so I wrapped the parameters in a script, but I don't think RH
has this problem.

VNC is working but nothing is causing an application (X client) or window
manager to start.
You need to set up xdm.
I am also running RH 6.2 with VNC via inetd.

Try changing the use_DeferredUpdates setting in the VNCHooks preferences for
the problem application to zero.
