Re: x0vncserver HowTo

I
have googled around and found nothing. I am missing something just not
sure what? How do I connect to a VNC server?

Port 5998 is non-standard for VNC. You would have to specify the port
rather than a display number. For example:

vncviewer hostname::5998

I am finding I can not connect to any VNC session (not even :1 after
starting it) yet I can telnet to the port. Any input would be greatly
appreciated.

Do you have a firewall enabled? Have you looked at the vnc log file to
verify it started? Can you telnet to port 5901?
