yes, im sorry, i planned on doing that, i just forgot...
first, i already had realVNC installed. to get the server running, all i did was:
1. SSH to the box
2. run 'vncserver'
3. it will ask for a password, this is what you use when you connect via VNC
*note the default client is fluxbox or something of that nature, as long as you have the vncserver create the default files, to change it to whatever you want, just edit the file /home/*USERNAME*/.vnc/xstartup and i changed the last line to 'startkde &' to use KDE
the other problem i ran into was i had to forward the ports, and i didnt have access to the box, so i had to find a way to get into my router. now, im using windows, so this is how i did it using PUTTY. there is a way to do it using ssh, read the man page about forwarding ports.
1. open putty and enter in the IP address
2. under Connection->SSH->Tunnels
Source port: *IPADDRESS*:80
Destination port: localhost:8999
click 'Add'
3. Connect and log on to any user
4. opened firefox and went to
http://192.168.1.1:8999
what this does is forwards port 80 from your home machine to port 8999 to your current machine, so now you can access the router via your current browser.
now, there are 2 seperate ports you can forward, the java interface 5801 if your using display 1, or the normal VNC server port 5901.
hope this helps
