Setup:
Dell Power Edge Server
Fedora Core 2 (kernel 2.6.8-1)
Using the fvwm X windows (not gnome or KDE)
[tried to use gnome - didn't like it. KDE gave me weird problems I never 
could tack down]
Adaptec SCSI 29160 and Breece Hill tape library, running BakBone 
Netvault 7.1

Primary purpose of this is to backup other servers (namely NT/2K) on the 
network. I am putting this server in our server room and would like to 
control it from my desk. So I figure on using VNC right? I followed the 
MAN pages for vncserver and it just indicated to start VNC just type 
"vncserver" .. gave it the password I want to use. When I attempt to 
connect using VNC client it gives me connection refused. I checked in ps 
-aux and VNC is running on ports 5901 and 5902. It's on my local subnet 
so there's no router to jump across.
