Hello again. Seth and Steve, thank you so much for your advice. We still havent been able to connect to the Linux VNC server from our Win client. When attempting to connect, I specified the IP address of the Linux server in our LAN (e.g., 192.168.0.10:1), but the dialog box still just disappears.
As suggested, I downloaded Ethereal and captured the network messages and have made sure that the /etc/hosts file in the Linux has the IP address and name of the Win Client. I couldnt find anything out of the ordinary (of course I am not exactly sure what to look for). The captures did not look significantly different from the log of the successful attempt to connect to another Win2K Vnc Server, except that the captures for the attempt to connect to the Linux VNC server were cut off short. Again the Linux VNC server logs (/home/user/.vnc/hostname) show Refused connection from client. I would appreciate any advice. What appears to be wrong? The DNS server settings?, Access permissions?. Also, would any of the followings be the source of the problem? 1./etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny settings (of the Linux box) 2./etc/hosts settings (of the Linux box) 3.PAM auth. (of the Linux box) 4.DNS (ours is on a Win2K machine) 5.router settings Also, this may or may not be relevant, but we are having trouble with our Samba connection to the Linux machine. Although we can see the Linux files/folders, we cannot copy files into the Linux folders from a Windows machines, although we are asked for user and passwords (we can do the reverse copy). Thanks again for your consideration. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
