Hey everyone: I got it working. I set it up under a user account. I was trying to set it up with the root account. It is working with the user account. Will the VNC server allow remote logins as root? Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (972) 834-1565 We lend money to investors to buy or refinance single family rent houses.

Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. RFB 003.008 But, when I try to connect to it from the outside world, I get a connection timeout. My /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file does not have the -nolisten tcp nor the -localhost options so it should be configured to accept outside connections. Is there some default setting in the vncserver that I need to change to allow outside connections?
