Twobob,

I solve the issue!

Here is what I needed to do:

1) Make sure the correct kindlevncviewer folder (i.e. the "inner" folder with this name) was downloaded to my DX's usb root drive

2) Make sure that my anti-virus allowed Tightvnc to access all ports (instead of just 5900/5901.

3) Turn the password off on TightVNC. (I could have sworn that I turned this off earlier, but I probably forgot to apply the change.)

4) Use the ... 192.168.2.1:0.. (not :1) code in puttytel when I try to tunnel into the DX.

So, my problems thus far have been because I stupidly did not do all four these things simultaneously.

Thanks for help!

Ben

you are basically "operating blind" at this point - and so are we.

I already typed what the various command in that script "do"

so Ill just show me doing them...

so just turn OFF your password protection for now.
(it's not like anyone is gonna connect without your knowledge inside your internal network, add that later then)

and be CERTAIN from the kindle that 192.168.1.1 IS your PC

port 5901 implies :1 IIRC

so you would

[root@kindle root]# cd /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/
[root@kindle kindlevncviewer]# ./kindlevncviewer -config ./config.lua 192.168.1.1:1

no script, just that.

if that fails then your FIREWALL is stopping the connection. or the IP is wrong. or you have the port setup incorrectly...

did you try 5900 and :0 like I suggested?

at which point you would

[root@kindle kindlevncviewer]# ./kindlevncviewer -config ./config.lua 192.168.1.1:0
