I've tried to get this (VNC via XDMCP) working on Redhat in the past without luck. Since I recently switched to Mandrake 9.1, I figured I'd give it another try, and I've gotten farther this time than before. Here's where I am and where I am stuck. - - 192.168.1.101 running Mandrake and the TightVNC client and server. Most recent rpms. - - 192.168.1.100 running WinXP and TightVNC. - - Everything matches your instructions, except I chose resolutions of 1000x700 and 1250x1000 to reduce the "scroll factor" on 1024x768 and 1400x1050 resolution screens respectively. - - In a terminal window if I type 'vncviewer localhost:0' or 'vncviewer localhost:1', I get a nice gdm login screen. I can login and everthing works perfectly. - - 192.168.1.100 is running WinXP and TightVNC. In a terminal window if I type 'vncviewer 192.168.1.100:0", I get the WinXP desktop. - - In a terminal window if I type 'vncviewer 192.168.1.101:0' or 'vncviewer 192.168.1.101:1', I get "vncviewer: VNC server connection closed". - - On WinXP if I try to connect to 192.168.1.101, I get "Failed to connect to listening VNC viewer" or nothing at all. - - Everything worked before adding VNC to xinetd, viewing PC each from the other. I have no clue where to take it from here. As I said, this is farther than I've gotten before. I couldn't find anything helpful when I Googled the last time.
