[Coco] CCASM for Linux project

Hey gang,

Manny helped me discover and set up the vnc client for Windows that 
lets me see and control my Linux desktop from my Vista computer.  I 
had been looking for this kind of solution for a while but didn't 
quite know what I needed.  If I can get it working right I'll 
continue debugging the Linux build of my CCASM cross assembler, and 
do all of the programming from one computer location.

My problem is follows: Gnome's remote desktop feature starts up and 
waits for Vista to connect. There is an initial screen update to the 
Vista window representing the Linux desktop.  I get one and only one 
update.  My Vista mouse controls the cursor on the Linux box just 
fine and I can even move windows around or perform typical operations 
just like I'm siting at that computer.  I'm amazed at all of that 
except for that fact that I disabled all of my firewalls to get this 
to work and it still does not.

Could the firewall on my wireless router be causing Vista to not 
receive automatic desktop updates?  I'm hoping to get a little help 
on this issue, and I'm even running Fedora's update wizard right now 
in hopes to grab the latest fixes that might cure this problem.  It 
marked a huge list of updates so it could take a while even over my 
6meg connection.  If it takes too long I guess I can abort and 
manually update to vino-2.13.5-6.fc6.
