I have two machines on one lan segment.
No routers.
No firewalls.
Nothing between them except a dumb Fast Ethernet Switch.
One machine has Windows XP Pro.
The other machine has Red Hat 9.0 Linux.
I loaded VNC 4.0 on both machines.
Nothing special, I took all the defaults, didn't mess with any config files.
I run VNC Server on the Windows machine and vncviewer on the Red Hat
machine.
This works fine. Beautiful. Full screen.....all controls.....no problems.
I run VNC Viewer on Windows machine and vncserver on the Red Hat machine.
I get "unable to connet to host: Connectin refused(10061)
I am using IP addresses, no names.
A trace of the traffic showed three pairs of Req/Ack at the TCPIP level. No
indication that
there was anything wrong. It was trying to connect to port 5900, as
expected.
I tried the Browser interface on the Windows machine (to port 5800) and that
worked.
But I need that full interface that I see in the Red Hat ---> Windows
connection.
What do I need to do on the Red Hat vncserver side to get it to accept
connections?
Thanks for your help.
Eric
