vncviewer: Connection Reset by Peer


Tue, 31 Mar 1998 11:45:30 -0500 (EST)

Hi all. This was asked a couple times before (found it in the
archives) but I couldn't find a solution.

Anyway, I'm running vncviewer on Linux 2.0.33 (RH5), using the RPM
available (compressed font support, etc.). I've also tried the
binaries provided from the website, using xfs with the same problems.

I've installed the WinVNC server on my NT machine.

I can connect to the NT machine using Win95 or another NT box, using
the Win32 vncviewer application. Not a problem. Very nice.

However, I want to do this from within Linux+XFree-3.3.1.

I start the vncviewer program the correct way, enter the correct
password, get suthorized (I know this because a different password
stops with an ;authentication failed' message.) A window then opens on
my desktop, but immediately closes.

The output from vncviewer is this, in debug:

Does anyone have any suggestions or a fix for this?


TIA.
