remote desktop

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.


Armage

ok i will download it now and post if that works...
thanks

when i type ./configure i get this :

Code:

---

linux:~/Desktop/vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc # ./configure
mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -I../..//config/cf -DTOPDIR=../../ -DCURDIR=.

what should be wrong?

maybe i'm missing some libraries..what should i check?
any help appreciated!

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

Code:

---

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

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

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

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