Er is nog een ander interessant deel maar om het uit elkaar te houden eerst dit :
dit werkt voor mij prima (Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy).
Remote Desktop Administration between a Linux Based PC and a Windows XP based PC.
There are many times we have the need to take complete control of a machine on our network, sometimes there is a person in the office that needs help and since they are six floors down it is just easier to take over their desktop until the task is complete and then return control to the local user, or sometimes we may be far away and need to access a machine at home. Other times you are like me and really don't feel like walking into the next room. Behold TightVNC. Its free and easy to use.
* You will need some tools again.
For your Windows XP machine you will need the TightVNC viewer and Server you can go
http://www.tightvnc.com/ and grab that. Download the tightvnc-1.2.9-setup.exe package as it contains everything you need to get started.
* for your Debian machine type: apt-get install vncserver and then apt-get install vncviewer
* Connecting to the windows machine from the Linux machine is quite simple. Make sure you are in X-Windows or KDE and open a console. Type vncviewer and a GUI windows should appear that says VNC Server. If the VNCServer is runing on your windows machine, simply type the Local IP address of Windows machine. You should see your Windows Desktop appear before your eyes! You can control the mouse and keyboard just as it you were sitting at the Windows Machine itself!
* Connecting to the Linux machine is a bit trickier but certainly not harder. Since Debian allows multiple users to utilize X Display the GUI at the same time, you can make vncserver setup a new X Display. at the prompt type vncserver
It will ask for a password to protect the session from intruders. This will be your default password until you change it (see documnetation that comes with VNCServer)
It will tell that the server listening on display :1 not display :0 which belongs to the primary X Server.
* On your Windows Machine click start-->run--> all programs-->TightVNC-->TightVNC Fast Compression.
Succes ermee !
Theo
* A pop up will appear that say VNC Server: Type in the box linuxmachine Local IP Address:1 and enter the password for the VNCSession. Viola! Linux Desktop!
