If so, it is probably blocking the ports used by Xvnc, the server started by the vncserver script. Xvnc listens on: - 590x for vncviewer - 580x for the Java applet where x is the desktop number. In case you didn't realize, you can leave more than copy of Xnvnc running in different logins and use the port number to select which login to use. Use the firewall management tool (it is System:Administration:Firewall on Fedora) to open at least port 5801 (if you want to try the applet) and 5901 (for vncviewer). Martin
