Hello, I am new to the whole PVR and Linux community, so I am sorry for any stupid questions that I may ask.

My buddy helped me get my machine kind of set up but I don't want to have to leave a keyboard and mouse hooked up. I tried to connect to the machine by IP using RealVNC but it says Connection Denied. What am I doing wrong?

Do you get a password prompt? or just pbphlt -- denied! ?
Is your VNC Client Windows, or Linux?
Are you sure you have the command line correct?

For me, from my Windoze box the shortcut is:


If I had to guess from the limited info, I'm guessing you missed the :0 at the end of the IP address, this says connect to display ":0" -- the console display. On linux boxes you can also configure the VNC server to create more displays than just the console. These would get other numbers associated with them.

I am not sure what was going on. It works fine now that is really wierd. The only thing I have changed since I tried last was setting the server up as a static IP using /etc/network/interfaces.

Is there a way to change the default password for the viewer?

I figured it out I needed to change
