RE: VNC - SSH / question, problem

It will make troubleshooting easier if you stop VNCserver on WinME. I
think the local (WinME) VNCserver is interfering with you trying to
connect to the WinXP computer.

VNC is not X-windows, you don't need a server on each end. It is like
Citrix MetaFrame or Windows Terminal Services, the client
(VNCviewer.exe) is all you need on the remote (WinME) side.

Thanks,
Mike Wood

Yes your assumptions are correct. WINXP is on port 5901 and WINME is on
port 5902. Yes I'm running VNCserver on both.

The 9999 port does not work since localhost is set to 5902.
