[CentOS] VNC server not reponding to external requests

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
