I've lost the output, but it contained an entry '127.0.0.1:5901' which brought to mind the strange (to me) presence of the argument '-localhost' in the server startup script I was using/"borrowing" from someone on the 'net: vncserver :01 -rfbport 5901 -geometry 1280x1024 -nevershared -localhost -depth 16 I knew my desktop was on port 5901; the server log told me that. At any rate -- you can see this coming, right? <g> -- removing that goshdarn 'localhost' cured my "connection refused" problem! Thanks William, and pardon me now while I get back to the "expert" who gave me that script! -- No no no, my fish's name is Eric, Eric the fish. He's an halibut. I am not a looney!
