Basically any entry from the command I posted above. If you post your output, I'd be glad to highlight the relevant sections for you.

Ok, so you basically need to make sure you have port forwarding enabled for ports 5901 and/or 5902, then use a VNC client with display :1 or :2.

I port forwarded those two. I ran my actual IP:**** (port number) in RealVNC Viewer. It times out.

Matir · 08-06-2005, 05:29 PM

Did you use "*.*.*.*:1" or "*.*.*.*:2"?

COKE CAN · 08-06-2005, 11:04 PM

***.***.***.***:5902

Matir · 08-06-2005, 11:18 PM

Hrrm, have you tried just "IP:2" or "IP:1" in the vncviewer?

Matir · 08-06-2005, 11:18 PM

Also, can you run the vnc viewer locally on the debian box and get anywhere?

COKE CAN · 08-07-2005, 08:48 AM

I ran VNC viewer on the box beside it and I connected to it. I used IP:5902

Matir · 08-07-2005, 01:06 PM

You were able to connect on your LAN? When outside your LAN, you do use your world-resolvable IP, right?

COKE CAN · 08-07-2005, 04:16 PM

I got it to connect using IP:2

COKE CAN · 08-07-2005, 04:16 PM

Thanks for you help and patience!

Matir · 08-07-2005, 10:26 PM

No problems. Many VNC viewers require a display number rather than a port, as is apparently the case here.

COKE CAN · 08-08-2005, 07:06 AM

Something I noticed yesterday, when I connect to my box from outside, then come home and try to run an application or program, it runs it behind the scenes as if I were still connected from outside. When I run tightvnc I run the command "tightvncserver", but how do I end it without logging off?

Matir · 08-08-2005, 07:31 AM

This all depends on what the environment variable "$DISPLAY" is set to. Make sure it's set to ":0".
