I can get VNC installed, and Xfce, but I cannot connect remotely with any viewers. tried many ports and still no go. Was using this tutorial http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server?highlight=%28tigervnc%29 I am guessing its in the IP tables cat iptables # Generated by iptables-save v1.4.7 on Mon Dec 23 15:32:07 2013 *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [396:30624] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [216:23216] -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp -m multiport --dports 5901:5903,6001:6003 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited -A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited COMMIT VNC config cat /etc/sysconfig/vncservers # The VNCSERVERS variable is a list of display:user pairs. # # Uncomment the lines below to start a VNC server on display :2 # as my 'myusername' (adjust this to your own).
