ok. How would I go about fixing the path? I have 0 knowledge of solaris commands and syntax so I've been just been looking up things as I need them-or atleast trying to look up things.Thank you.

Here is one way:
Code:
env PATH=$PATH:/usr/openwin/bin vncserver

jilliagre,

Here's what happened:

Code:
Jun 28 23:11:47 unknown login: ROOT LOGIN /dev/console
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005
# env PATH=$PATH:/usr/openwin/bin vncserver
vncserver: couldn't find "Xvnc" on your PATH.
# Jun 28 23:12:32 unknown sendmail[541]: [ID 702911 mail.alert] unable to qualify my own domain name (unknown) -- using short name
Jun 28 23:12:32 unknown sendmail[541]: unable to qualify my own domain name (unknown) -- using short name

Jun 28 23:12:32 unknown sendmail[542]: unable to qualify my own domain name (unknown) -- using short name

I tried typing in vncserver again after all this and I got the same error message that I was getting in the beginning.

First, Its showing the wrong version of solaris. I just installed 10 on it and now its displaying 5...not sure how that happened. I went and checked and sure enough its there and just showing the wrong one?...

Code:
# cat /etc/release
                      Solaris 10 10/09 s10s_u8wos_08a SPARC
           Copyright 2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All Rights Reserved.

                           Assembled 16 September 2009

Also, the server is behind a router. Could this be causing a problem?

Thank you everyone.

Once I get out of work, I'm going to try something called TeamViewer 5. It has good reviews on cnet, and it's free. It looks like it can do exactly what I want, so I'll give that a shot. I'll report back with results.

Ok. I failed to realize that TeamViewer 5 cant be installed on solaris. Its a mac/windows/linux program. I do have to say though, I installed it on my laptop (linux) and desktop (winxp) and the program is very nice and INCREDIBLY easy to use. I just happen to have an extra server that doesn't have solaris on it. I also just happen to have a Debian for sparc dvd sitting on my desk. I think I may give that a try on the extra one-as a last resort. Is there a good FREE xdmcp client you guys would recommend?

Tried Xming. Doesn't seem to be cooperating. Atleast with connecting to the laptop.

Okay, that will be fixed with this command:
Code:
env PATH=$PATH:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/X11/bin vncserver

Nothing happened. Solaris 10 kernel is SunOS 5.10.
