I'm using TightVNC to connect from my work computer (Fedora) to my home desktop (Windows 7).

For some reason when I attempt to type in the remote desktop (vnc viewer) the keystrokes aren't sending to my home desktop.

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is and/or how to fix it?

It is possible to have VNC in "read-only" mode. Have you checked that? When "read-only", no input events (keyboard or mouse) are transmitted to the remote end.

If you typed in the password twice on the TightVNC server, then you didn't confirm the password, you set the read-only password to be the same as the access password. Guess which one takes precedence when logging in (I've done this to myself a few times...)?
