Connecting two computers on a local network, both running intrepid. Had this working in 8.04. The server is media contents of /etc/hosts includes <a href="http://127.0.0.1" target="_blank">127.0.0.1</a> localhost media <a href="http://127.0.1.1" target="_blank">127.0.1.1</a> media Remote Desktop Preferences on server media [x}Allow other users to view your desktop [x]Allow other users to control your desktop no other restrictions. When I use "Remote Desktop Viewer" from the client mystic-laptop it finds "media.local::5900" when I click on connect, the program simply closes with no error message, just shuts down. When I use Terminal Server Client to access media using RDP I get the error "address or service unknown" when I use VNC I get the error message "unable to resolve host by name". I know it has to be something simple I'm overlooking, but I've been banging my head on these keyboards for three days trying to figure it out. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Bob
