From thr VNC FAQ's: Quote:
Q9 How do I set up a Windows 95/98 machine so that I can dial into it directly and view it using VNC?
You need to install your modem from the control panel if you haven't already, and you need to set up the dialup networking server on your server machine. (This is included with Win98 and NT4. On Win95 it is in the Plus! pack, but you need to get an update to version 1.3 or later from Microsoft's site. At the time of writing it can be found here.) You can enable the dialup server from the 'Connections' menu of the dial-up networking window. If it isn't there, or if you've updated the dialup networking as mentioned above, you need to install it using the Windows Setup section of 'Add/Remove Programs' in the control panel. When it's running and you've dialled in, the server machine should have an IP address something like 192.168.55.1 as seen from the viewer - you can find this out by hovering over the VNC server icon, using 'netstat -r', or running winipcfg. You should then be able to connect to, for example, 192.168.55.1:0.

VNC is reasonabble straight forward to use, but does have it tricks. If you have static IPaddresses, it's easy to configure it to look for the client.
Hope this helps |
