Hi,
I have 3 computers, 2 W2K machines and 1 FBSD. VNC is installed on all. I can access one W2K from the other W2K and vice versa, but I cannot get to the FBSD machine from either, nor can I get to either W2K from the FBSD.
I checked IPFW on FBSD: it is not blocking any packets for VNC, and I even turned off IPFW just for good measure. Still it is not working.
I am current with CVSup and I installed VNC from the ports collection today. PS says that vncserver is running, and when I use vncviewer, the IP dialogue box pops up, but when I enter a valid IP, it just returns blank as if I could enter a fresh IP into it. No error messages are returned. From W2K, the error messageis "could not connect to server." I am using 4.4 Release (FBSD).
This should be so simple, that I don't know what to do about it. Does anyone have any helpful thoughts as to what the problem could be?
Thank you,
vberic
