I can ftp and telnet no problems .. I have enables vncserver on the server ... however I keep getting a connect error 111 when I try to use vncviewer to access the server ... any suggestions?/alternatives for remote access to the server X11 desktop?
Are you needing to see what's on the server's screen, or simply to run X programs on the server and it display on your laptop? If the later, just do "ssh -X server" and ssh will take care of forwarding the X session for you in a secure way. If it's the former, have you tried using the Java VNC client? VNC Servers usually run an http server on a port 5800 (iirc) that serves a java applet based viewer. Regards, Jon
