| 826336 | 2009-11-02 00:11:00 | Hi Just wondering if there is an easy to setup remote support program to support a linux server from a windows or linux pc. With step by step instructions a noob can follow. Thanks in advance. |

| 826338 | 2009-11-02 00:16:00 | "server"? Almost every single linux machine has SSH on it (Generalization but still), which is your bread & butter remote-support. Depending on their Desktop Environment, KDE / Gnome both have a VNC Server option built-in that you can use. What distro is the "server" running, and what have you got going on it? Is it a Desktop or Server? |

| 826340 | 2009-11-02 01:21:00 | Are you using CLI or a GUI on the server? If using console: apt-get install openssh-server then port forward tcp port 22, to the the server from your router/firewall and your done. :thumbs: |

| 826341 | 2009-11-02 02:13:00 | It's running deb 5.0 lenny and what have you got going on it? Is it a Desktop or Server? What is this servers use? You're being *very* vague here! The more information you provide about what you're doing, why you're doing it, and what you hope to achieve, then the better we can help and the less 1-line replies you'll get... |

| 826342 | 2009-11-02 03:16:00 | Hi it's a file print fax server that I want suppor remotely via standard Internet connection | andreas.hagen (15380) | ||
| 826343 | 2009-11-02 03:16:00 | it requires gui support not just cli | andreas.hagen (15380) | ||
| 826344 | 2009-11-02 03:32:00 | Why does it require GUI support? For that kind of thing you can simply use SSH? Anyways, easiest way: In the DSL Router, Port forward TCP Port 5900 to the Server. Then depending on your setup, if you've already got GNOME or not. If you do, try: gnomejournal.org If you have no GUI currently, or want to go for a standalone option, try: www.penlug.org news.metaparadigma.de www.lizardking.biz |
