[CentOS] Reg. VNC server and Windows and Centos interworking

Hi,

Thanks for such a fast response. I typed vncserver at the command line and 
it asked me for a password. It said I would require password to enter the 
desktop. I did not set any before so gave some dummy password. It again 
showed Verify and I typed the same password again. Then the screen showed 
something like

for user padmaja, the startup script is in /home/padmaja/.vnc/Xstartup
the startup applications are in /home/padmaja/.vnc/Xstartup
the log file is in /home/padmaja/.vnc/sipserver.com.log

After this I typed ps aux and saw that there is a Xvnc running againt pid 
11435.

Now, I tried to connect to the Centos PC from Windows using Vnc client and 
it gave the error

"unable to connect to host: connection refused (10061)."

I cant understand what the issue is. I am however able to connect to Windows 
PCs from VNC on windows.


Regards,
Padmaja
