I'm having an issue establishing a VNC connecting to a SLES10SP 4 server using PuTTY on a Windows 7 workstation.
Remote Administration is enabled in YaST, as are all the other appropriate settings. Password Protection is disabled etc. Everything goes smoothly during configuration.
Then in PuTTY with the following settings:
Host Name (or IP address)
Connection type:
SSH
Preferred SSH protocol version:
2 only
Forwarded ports:
4L6023 127.0.0.1:5901
Local
IPV4
According to our documentation this configuration should work, but when I open the putty connection it simply times out. No errors, it just doesn't connect. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
