Also, vncviewer brings up the diaglogue in X just as it should, but typing in a valid address does not work and no error messages are returned. From W2K viewer, the error message returned is "cannot connect to server." what display# is VNC running on? you should be able to see this when looking at the process....the number after the color, like 'Xvnc :1' when you are pointing your win2k machine at the FreeBSD box are you specifying to connect to the display on which VNC is listening? if you're FreeBSD box is at 10.0.0.1, for example, then you should point your win2k box at 10.0.0.1:1 - that is, assuming that your VNC server is running on display 1.
