Re: [Xen-users] What is required for Xen to show VNC for HVM installs?

[VPS Lime <vpslime@xxxxxxxxx>]

I found the issue - I had changed the vnc-listen in the xend-config.swx, but had not restarted Dom0 so it never got picked up.  When I added a vnclisten="<IP ADDRESS>" to the DomU config file, I was able to connect.

does netstat show vnc listening? did you change the interface vnc
binds to in xend-config.sxp?
