I am ashamed because it should be rather simple. I am cvsuped to 4.4 Release, I started vncserver and ps says its running. 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." IPFW shows that no packets are being blocked when I try to connect from W2K, so it's not the firewall. Anyone have an idea have any helpful thoughts? thanks for your time, vberic To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
