So elaborating what Wade was saying: 1. login to box as your own user 2. Type 'vncserver' and put in new password for VNC session when asked. It will then tell you the X display number for that session, assuming you're the first one who tried vncserver in your box, it will be 1 3. From another machine that has vncviewer, point the viewer to <your vnc_server IP>:1 put in password. HTH RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.
