RE: [MLUG] VNC

["Rick Buford" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

from http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html:

"Now, the VNC protocol normally uses port 59xx, where xx is the display 
number of the server.  So a VNC server on a Windows machine, which normally 
uses display number 0, will listen on port 5900.   Most Unix VNC servers will 
probably use display numbers 1,2, etc and so will be listening on ports 5901, 
5902 and so forth.  If you forward these ports to a remote machine, you can 
make the remote VNC server appear to be a server running on your local 
machine"

When we were young, we were told that "everybody else is doing it" was a
really stupid reason to do something. Now it's the standard reason for
picking a particular software package. -- Barry Gehm
