Ladies and Gentlemen!
Now that I've gotten Fedora working great, I have really been interested in being able to use it ANYWHERE! :-D So, I am trying to get VNC working. I had a hopeful outlook thinking that I would just need to launch the VNC server on my Linux box and that would be it. When I use the VNC viewer on my laptop, I put the IP address of my desktop in, and it doesn't connect. Are there any other details to setting up a VNC server and being able to connect to it?
The best setup of vnc is at http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp. Once setup, point a vncviewer to servermachine:50 to see it work. For exampel from the console, do `vncviewer localhost:50`. It should give a login box inside the vncviewer.
Once that works, try to connect from a remote machine. If that fails it is most likely the firewall or routing to the machine.
