thanks.
I don't suppose there's a way I can test it from home. e.g. use ssh on the
Linux box here to test if it works. I mean, I can vnc direct to the win2K
machine ok, but rather than waiting until I get to the office tomorrow and
trying it, I won't know if it's working. When I log on to the router I can
open port 5900 but it gives me TCP and UDP options and I don't know which is
correct.
I did ssh <ipaddress> and it returned connection refused.
ssh //<ipaddress> returns name or service not known.
thanks for the help
David the newbie :-)
