I don't have a VNC installation to test against, however I can tell you that SSH and HTTP work just fine. When I need to get to my Windows box I use VNC over SSH to my Linux box and then VNC to my Windows box. It's a bit of a hassle, but less so than exposing a Windows box to the Internet :) Josh _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
