Hi Y'all,

I am new to VNC but not to Linux or Ubuntu, however, still very much human.

I installed vnc4server on the remote system(the_host) which is my 
firewall server. It will be headless when I get finished getting things 
worked out so that I can control it remotely.

I installed vnc4viewer on the system I was working from(viewing_host)

No problems

I then started up the viewer - IT WORKED!

I then changed the display I was working on to full screen and could not 
get back; yeah I know RTFM first but I didn't... I forced a reboot of my 
system and tried again and got the following message:

Connection to host "the_host:5900" was closed.

I have restarted both systems, no help. Searched the VNC site for 
information on the error and was not able to find anything that 
indicated a solution. I also tried searching the Ubuntu forum...

I have enabled port 5900 for the viewing_host in firestarter on the_host.

The message still appears...

I am running 4.08 LTS and VNC 4.1 on both systems

How do I solve this problem?

Regards,
Jay
