I'm glad you got it sorted Mark. |

A vaguely related but quite O/T question: would you perhaps know why when I |
| 9 |
select "connect to local ports only" (in the VNC server running on a WinXP |
| 10 |
box, under the Properties tab Connections) to stop it listening to ports |
| 11 |
connected to the Internet, I can no longer connect from another WinXP box |
| 12 |
through ssh port forwarding? No problem connecting to the VNC server from my |
| 13 |
Gentoo box, or from the WinXP box using Knoppix. The error that comes up on |
| 14 |
the VNC viewer is something like "the connection was unexpectedly terminated, |
| 15 |
would you like to try again". Telnet-ing through the forwarded port |
| 16 |
similarly fails - the telenet session hangs waiting for a response from the |
| 17 |
server. As soon as I remove the "connect to local ports only" the WinXP VNC |
| 18 |
viewer connects happily again. Is this a WinXP bug? |
