This file appears to be correct. I am curious how I specify the host/port combination on the client side. I an using The TightVNC client and RPMs. The grey screens were with something like this: 192.168.1.21:5950 If I leave the port off or connect to 177, it fails. Hmmm I can't even connect to port 177. Is that a problem? Should port 177 be enabled? > Hope this helps. > Dave. > ~~ > All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy. > > Collectible dolls from http://www.collectorsdolls.com > Web design?
