Found that if I disable the firewall completely, via

the vncviewer from the WinXP box works. Can someone point me to a description of the firewall features in FC2 (or at least for FC1) so I can see what needs to be done to keep open the vnc tcp ports (5900+) while having the firewall otherwise enabled?
I had the same problem. Decided to edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables (after making a backup first). I just duplicated the line for port 80 and changed the 80 to a 5901. Now everything works just fine.
Of course it would be more secure to tunnel the VNC session over ssh, but if you aren't worried about security (all on your local LAN), this should help.
