Well well well.... I have actually gone so far as to uninstall and download vnc all over again - but the same problem occurs. Without configuring NIS firewall (to allow it to happen when I run vnc), with NIS enabled, I simply cannot 'get out' but it seems that the first error that occurs is on the vnc side. I get a box that has 'vnc viewer' on the top of the margin, and in the box it says 'server closed connection unexpectedly'. Now, when I disable NIS, I don't get that box and can get through just fine.
Any ideas?
