Is there some default setting in the vncserver that I need to change to allow outside connections?

And what about iptables?

I have iptables and selinux turned off currently. It still will not connect.

Any other ideas?

All I ever do is install vncserver, run vncpasswd on the account(s) I will configure in it, add to /etc/sysconfig/vncserver

VNCSERVERS="1:user1 2:user2"

then enable 5901 and 5902 in iptables and it works. I also tend to replace twn with exec gnome-session in the ~/.vnc/xstart file.

Then all you have are network firewall and transport security issues.

Last I looked, vncpasswd only accepted the first 8 characters and ignored the rest.
