Everything looks ok here. I should have had you run "netstat -atp" to verify that it is VNC listening, but I bet it is.

The "Window manager warning" is a known issue with rhn-applet. I don't see any attempts to connect in the log file, though. Had you just started the server? You might also attempt to telnet into the VNC port (from fc2-station-1): telnet localhost 5911 Possibly you have a firewall blocking access from another PC? -- William Hooper
