Hi, i usually use tightvnc on my windows machines and the listen mode works perfectly! Now i want to use the vncviewer in FC5 in listen mode so as to connect to a windows vnc server. How can i do that graphically? From the terminal i tried 'vncviewer -listen' but it just hangs and does not connect to the server. If it can't be done graphically can you tell me how to do it from the command line so that i connect and get the windows desktop on my linux machine?
Hi MRMadhav,
If you have vnc.i386 and vnc-server.i386 of the version 4.1.1-39.fc5, then you should not have any problem to connect to a Windows VNC server graphically.
Can you post the error message that you get when you try to connect graphically to a Windows VNC server?
