remote desktop

[stathisx]

when i use remote desktop connection and put the ip of the pc i want to connect then connect button doesn't appear to be active so i can't connect.what should be wrong?
although my network works fine..

Is a firewall blocking the connection?

Have you tried a program like TightVNC. I use it all the time at work, no problems at all.

i tried remote desktop connection provided in kde 3.2.it connects after the authentication and i get after a few seconds :

THe connection to the host has been interrupted

what should be wrong?i have also firewall disabled..(if that makes a difference)[/quote]

For the VNC problem it looks like a problem with GCC. Possible upgrade??? Or XVNC could be a broken file?? Probably consider finding another version.


For the Remote Desktop KDE 3.2:

Is there a screensaver running on the other machine??

Armage

[stathisx]

no,screensaver does not run on the other machine..and i can't understand why the connection terminates suddenly..

[Muser]

do you have a router? has it been set to allow VNC connections?

[stathisx]

i don't have a router either.how do i configure vnc connections?where do i have to go ?
any help appreciated!
