I have tried to get a remote desktop session working several times. Connection times out on port 5901 or actively refuses. I need someone to outline the install/config steps so I can identify where I am going wrong. I have tried to do this about 4 diff ways so please dont ask me to outline my steps. Just need a known good tut to work from.
