I’m using the latest version of MobaXTerm (Alsome Util!). I can successfully connect using SSH, but I keep getting this Connection Close when trying to use VNC: it briefly displays the background of the Desktop then closes. In my Firewall settings I only configures Allowed Interfaces and Broadcast. My VNC setting. My MobaXTerm setting.
Also, my main OS is a Windows 2012 Server R2 and running Hyper-V for my OpenSuse 13.1 as the Guest OS. Tried to connect via HTTP using IE and Chrome, but the Java connection was blocked. So I’m guessing my VNC is being blocked the same way.
After configuring my Network and Samba I’m able to connect now. But, I would also like to use TightVNC, because I have not figured out how to use the Alt+Tab for switching between windows.
TIghtVNC problem:
Can login
during Suse initialization I’m disconnected.
While login using MobaXterm I’m viewing my log using KSystemLog:

Any suggestion to what I need to configure to get TightVNC and IE working?
Caveat: I have no idea about using anything Microsoft, but I frequently use TightVNC between openSUSE machines.
Why should I be expected to connect to and be tracked by an untrusted file sharing site in order to see your settings? You can either use the code tags, or use this forum’s paste function.
What are you trying to do? Remote GUI login, or connect to a running remote desktop (e.g. for support/demonstration)? It looks like you are attempting a remote login.
“session closed for user root”. The default is not to allow remote GUI login for root.
How did you install/enable VNC? Did you use “YaST > Network Services > Remote Administration (VNC)” or some other method?
Why are you trying to connect to port “5801”? The defaults are 5901…5903.
Have you configured an appropriate section in “/etc/xinetd.d/vnc”? Listening ports are disabled by default.
I generally check that I am negotiating the route, firewalls etc. by using a utility “pung” or telnet. Telnet should give you a “RFB 003.008” response.
