After installing DSL to a older notebook
I am able do connect via WLAN to my home.net
clicking prism2.
Then I use VCNviewer to get access to a windows xp computer.

Without Linux experience I need some help to copy
the VCN icon and add the tcp/ip address 192.168.0.xxx
and the password to the command behind. But how?

any help available ?
thanks
Thomas

create a password file with the vncpasswd command, then you can use the vncviewer "-passwd" parameter to point the program to that file.

If I disable the password within the VNCServer, there is no
Problem to start the VNC connection:
1. Open XTerminal
2. VNCViewer 192.168.0.xxx
But with password enabled,
I did not know where to store the passwortfile: testpc
VNCViewer 192.168.0.101 -passwd testpc

The second problem: where to find the command behind the
VNCViewer icon displayed on the screen.
Thanks,
Thomas

The password file is created by the vncpasswd command (defaults to /home/dsl/.vnc/passwd).  Please read the manual pages listed above for details.

The icon command can be accessed by right-click on the icon, and choosing "properties".
