Re: [Xen-users] WinXP console

[Martin Goldstone <m.j.goldstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What does your winxp2.xml file look like?

Does netstat show that anything is listening on any 59xx ports?  Also,
try vncviewer with the port number instead of the display number; I know
it shouldn't work, but I've heard it suggested before.

>From the log you posted, I'm not sure but it seems that it's not getting
the correct VNC display (in fact, it seems like its getting a
non-integer passed to it).  This should be in the XML file (the line
reads <graphics type='vnc' port='5900'/> or similar).  Is it in yours?
