Re: xvnc4viewer -listen connection refused

[Glen Reesor <Glen.Reesor@telus.net>]

Here's the xvnc4viewer part of the output from netstat -lapten:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       User       Inode       PID/Program name
tcp6       0      0 :::7003                 :::*                    LISTEN      1000       15663       3788/xvnc4viewer

The good news is that "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only" prior to starting xvnc4viewer makes it work.  Cool!
So, is this a bug that should be filed again xvnc4viewer or some other networking related package?

Thanks for your quick response and diagnosis!

Regards,
Glen

P.S.  Cc'ed the list so other xvnc4viewer users will benefit.

Can you check what address it's listening to?  Run 'netstat -lapten' and
look for the right port number.  Also check if
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only
before starting it makes things work (if it does, that's a bug in the
package, so it needs to be reported).
