Vncviewer 192.168.1.31:2 netstat -atulp | grep vnc tcp 0 0 *:5902 *:* LISTEN 28326/Xvnc tcp 0 0 *:6002 *:* LISTEN 28326/Xvnc tcp 0 0 192.168.1.31:5902 192.168.1.157:41034 ESTABLISHED 28326/Xvnc tcp 0 0 *:6002 *:* LISTEN 28326/Xvnc Seeing that you are able to connect to the server using SSH, I believe that it's save to assume that the setup is similar to what I created, if you are using a Bridge connection you will not have to close the KVM Guest neither will you have to change the display from VNC to spice. Let me know if this helps. -- Kind Regards Earl Ramirez
