Hoo, whee! You must like pain. If memory serves me, and it occasionally does, these random comments are germane to the task at hand:
1) Listen to Matthew van Eerde. Get some ethernet cards and ignore the rest of this message. 2) Go out and get a large bottle of Advil. 3) As you've guessed, you're going to need to get TCP/IP running over the null modem cable. <presuming 9x> 4) I'm pretty sure that Windows 9x Direct Cable Connect runs NetBEUI as its transport, not TCP/IP, so that will be a dead-end street. 5) I don't think you can make the Windows 9x machine a dial-up server (RAS). If you can set up a dial-up (ppp) server on the Amiga, that might help. 6) Either way, you will need a modem definition for Window 9x. If you use the one that comes with Windows 9x in support of Direct Cable Connect, it won't be much fun because it's 19.2Kb/sec. max. There was a guy at Cisco who came up with a null modem definition for Windows 9x. See http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/471/103.html. </presuming 9x> 7) If you've got NT 4.0 (or even 3.51) on your PC (not likely but not impossible with 16MB) you can set it up as a dial-up server (RAS) so, presuming you can make the Amiga "dial" through the null modem, as if it were dialing a ISP, you can get IP between the two that way. 8) I have some vague recollection of something weird in the call initiation handshaking when dealing with a null modem connection. The NT RAS server, when its waiting for a inbound connection, expects to see "CLIENT" where, if it were a real modem, it would see "RING" and it replies with "CLIENTSERVER". What you need your Amiga to do is, at the point where it would say "ATDT 555-1212" to the real modem it instead says "CLIENT" and at the point where it would be waiting for a real modem to say "CONNECT 57600" it instead waits for the null modem to say "CLIENTSERVER". ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 9:11 AM Subject: setting up vnc > hi, > > Hope this isn't too OT. > > I have an amiga & pc (see sig), and want to set up a VNC server on the amiga & > view it on the pc.
