Post by: Anonymous on February 07, 2004, 05:33:14 am

I was wondering what else would I need to get a VNC connection to my Powerbook or if I can even do that at all.

I have the VNC viewer installed on my zaurus but I was wondering what else is needed...even on a pc or linux box.  

Sorry if this is very newb question but thats what I am but I want to learn.

You will need the vnc server installed on the machine you want to connect to.

Also you will need a working network connection between the zaurus and the server.

Whatch out if you have a firewall on your machine, either add the vnc ports into the firewall or disable it for testing.

get vnc server for your pc/powerbook here :-

okay, the last two post was me, but I uninstalled VNC server on my Z860 and now its back to normal.  Does anybody know why this was happening and how to fix it?

Ah Ha!  I\'m running Special pre-emptive kernel on a 5600 and the code is supposedly based on an 860.  Since upgrading, I\'ve had a problem with VNC server as well.  The Zaurus will become unresponsive, when I try to start apps they don\'t start or seg fault and within a couple of minutes the Zaurus goes back to the count-down part of the boot process.

I tried going back to the Sharp v1.32 ROM and VNC worked fine.  I re-installed the special version and the problem is back.   I\'ve tried capturing the output from VNCServer\'s errors but there doesn\'t appear to be much there.
