I know that there are heaps threads about this topics , but this what I did without any success
This is what I did on FC4 I am logging as root (I know the security implication)
First:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q --info vnc-server
Code:

Summary : A VNC server.
Description :
The VNC system allows you to access the same desktop from a wide
variety of platforms. This package is a VNC server, allowing others to
access the desktop on your machine.
Second:
The gedit /etc/sysconfig/vncserver
Code:
# The VNCSERVERS variable is a list of display:user pairs.
# Uncomment the lines below to start a VNC server on display :2
# as my 'myusername' (adjust this to your own). You will also
# need to set a VNC password; run 'man vncpasswd' to see how
# to do that.
# DO NOT RUN THIS SERVICE if your local area network is
# untrusted! For a secure way of using VNC, see
# <URL:http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html>.
#zillah uncomment VNCSERVERS="2:myusername"
VNCSERVERS="2:root"
#zillah uncomment VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 800x600"
VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 800x600"
Third:
[root@localhost ~]# vncpasswd root
Password:
Verify:
Fourth:
[root@localhost ~]# vncserver
New 'localhost.localdomain:2 (root)' desktop is localhost.localdomain:2
Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/localhost.localdomain:2.log
And i run the below command as well
[root@localhost ~]# service vncserver start
Starting VNC server: 2:root A VNC server is already running as :2

Quote:
I am using FC4. The fix for me was that the default iptables (i think
thats the firewall settings) were preventing incoming VNC connections.
To overcome this in gnome i went to Desktop>System Settings>Server Settings>Services There I stopped iptables - and immediately I was able to connect!

I did stop iptables as qoute above suggested.
Sixth:
Code:
http://img273.imageshack.us/img273/8994/vncviewer5vn.jpg
From windows 2003 I opened VNC Viewer and I typed in this :
198.222.168.189:2
The error message that I received when I typed in the ip address for the address is below:
Code:
VNC Viewer: 198.222.168.189:Error
unable to connect to host: The requested address is not valid in its context.(10049)
Note:
1- FC4 box and Win2003 box within the same LAN, the reachability is there (ping each other)
2- From within FC4 I tried : vncviewer 127.0.0.1:2 (same as vncviewer :2 ),,,,,,it worked.
3- I tried to do test by telnet from win2003 :
Telnet 198.222.168.189:5902,,,,failed
4- I tried to
http://198.222.168.189:5802,,,,,failed as well.
I tried to configure from GUI method
A- Desktop - Preferences - Remote Desktop , check the users view and use boxes , uncheck the 'ask you for confirmation' box , set password ,
B- then - Desktop - Server Settings - Services , tick vncserver box - start - save , (starts at boot up)
Any suggestion ?
Linear Mode
