I've got two Fedora bozes (A & B) on the same lan (connected through a netgear switch).
They can ping each other and ssh bach and forth. There is a firewall between the

On machine A, I've got a vncserver running. On machine A, I can run the command

successfully; self vnc-ing works.
On machine B, when I run the command > vncviewer A:1 I get

what wrong?
Most likely you have iptables running on the machine A and is blocking port 5901. Test it by disabling iptables on machine A. If that works then open port 5901.
Thanks - that was it. I added:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5901 -j ACCEPT
to /etc/sysconfig/iptables and the Sun is shining once again.
