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?
I would answer you offlist on this one, but you are bouncing my direct emails.
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
