SolarisRemoteDesktop

Some errors I encountered trying to connect to a Solaris box include:

Incompatible magic value 1013478509 in class file vncviewer/VNCViewer

This has to do with Internet Explorer's enhanced security (great concept, pain in the neck when you KNOW you want to do something). The java icon may just be a small icon you can't get any details on, or it may be a java logo that you can right click and see the console - the console will have this error.

What do I do to fix it? Add the site to your trusted sites list, Tools - Options - Security - Trusted Sites - Sites - Add the site..

I get prompted for the password but then nothing happens

I got stuck on this one too.. I had to go walk back to the box and on the screen I saw it was requesting permission for VNC to read the password file. Trivial, but if it had been a headless server in the rack already I'd be stuck. Additionally the web server for the vnc client wouldn't serve up more pages until something was clicked.
