VNC woes...... SuSE tightvnc won't come out to play

[statik213]

Got a box w/ SuSE installed and trying to VNC into it.... I have disabled the firewall on both the server and client.
Box A has SuSE that comes with tightvnc
Box B has Fedora Core 3, came w/ RealVNC

Tryiing to make Box A host but B doesn't seem to be connecting. This is what I get when I run vncviewer on machine B.

### > vncviewer 192.168.2.190:1
VNC viewer for X version 4.0 - built Oct 6 2004 08:06:12

See http://www.realvnc.com for information on VNC.

CConn: connected to host 192.168.2.190 port 5901

Wed Jun 15 19:00:23 2005
CConnection: Server supports RFB protocol version 3.130
CConnection: Using RFB protocol version 3.8

and it just hangs there..... I've tried vncviewer localhost:1 to see if vncviewer is working on machine B and it does. I haven't been able to connect to A from a Wni98 machine running realvnc as welll...
I finally tried removing realvnc (viewer) and installing tightvnc on machine B and still had no luck.....

I took a look at the log file on the server and there''s stuff I don't understand at the end that may be causing problems. Can anyone tell me if somehting is wrong on the server?
(Note: the dates on the server are off 'cos I just put the machine together.... going to go set it now)

I may be way off base here, but I think you should be connecting to 192.168.2.190:0 instead of :1. The number after the colon specifies the X server that you're trying to connect to, so unless you're running 2 X servers on your SuSE box (unlikely unless you have dual monitors) you should connect to server 0.
I've been connecting to my other box by just VNCing to the IP address and not specifying an X server number. It connects to the right one, which is probably the first one it finds. You might try that. Just "realvnc 192.168.2.190" (or whatever command you use to start your vnc client).

No it's not a problem specfying a particular display... in any case I have multiple displays running for different users and I get the same result for each display...

any ideas? n0cmonkey you there?
