Strange... Peek at the HTML code in your browser to see which port is used
for the vnc (RFB) communication. THen subtract 5900 from that portnumber to
get the vncviewer display number. You should see the same contents as in the
browser.

What unix/linux distribution? Did you use the vnc-bundles from the
distribution? Vnc comes with several major linux distributions. Best to
start using that. Once you get it working, you can simply exchange the
binaries (only `Xvnc` and `vncviewer`) to the newest release.

My best setup: http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp for
terminal-server like setup of vnc.

To get the console: http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/
