You are correct: From W2K, typing in "192.168.0.1:1" connects me to X on FBSD. Thanks for that. I am half way there. But the lesson you have imparted to me, ie., to include screen numbers, does that explain why I still cannot connect from FBSD to W2K? W2K does not have screen numbers (ttys?) right? The proper procedure from X should be "vncviewer", "192.168.0.33", and voila, right? Is there something else I need to do to connect from FBSD to W2K?
