Hello
I am trying to connect from an XP machine to redhat 9, so that I can view the redhat 9 machines GUI and take remote control of it. I am having troubles doing this. So far I have managed to set up a tunnel using Putty from the xp machine and then using TightVNC viewer to connect to the linux machine. It will conect but all I get is a grey screen and a shell window. The cursor turns into a X, so i think i am roughly on the right track, but for some reason the GUI will not display. Any ideas, or any tutorials where I could have a look.
I can display individual application like kedit, but not the whole desktop.
Thanks

yes.....i too am looking for help in this area except in my case both my network and the foreign network i wish to access from are behind firewalls...
