Hey everyone:
I got it working. I set it up under a user account. I was trying to set it up with the root account. It is working with the user account.
Will the VNC server allow remote logins as root?
From root did you run vncpasswd to create the needed /root.vnc/ files?
Thanks, Neil

Hello everyone:
I tried following the instructions on this page to set up a VNC server: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server
I can telnet to port 5901 from the machine itself: # telnet 127.0.0.1 5901 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. RFB 003.008
But, when I try to connect to it from the outside world, I get a connection timeout.
My /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file does not have the -nolisten tcp nor the -localhost options so it should be configured to accept outside connections.
Is there some default setting in the vncserver that I need to change to allow outside connections?
Thanks, Neil
