I use the VNC Server & client that came packaged with Fedora when I'm on
the server but I use version 4.1.1 on my Windows 2000 machine running
remotely on my LAN... both them act the same way way connecting to the
server. Locally in the .vnc folder of the user on the server, the most
recent logfile seems to be a couple of days ago (strange thing is I ran
it again just now but no logfile generated). Anyhow, the file contains
this, tell me what you think, thanks:

Ferindo,
The fact that the viewer is showing the desktop window but is then closing
suggests that you are able to connect to the server, but that the server is
then closing the connection again, so you may want to look at the server's
log (in your .vnc directory) to see why it is doing so.
Are you using the standard VNC server for GNU/Linux, or the one bundled with
Fedora?

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.

Subject: Unable to connect to VNC Server (Fedora Core 4) from
Win2000 client - Used to work fine
1. I'm sure the VNC Server is running and excepting connections
2. the Windows VNC client and Linux Fedora Core 4 Server
running VNC
Server are on the same LAN
3. nothing is being prohibited in my server's host.deny file
4. When I try to connect to Server from VNC client the client window
opens for a couple brief seconds with a blue screen and then closes
5. It does the same thing even when I use a VNC client
running locally
on the server
6. VNC connections used to work fine before I recently
upgraded from FC3
to Fedora Core 4
7. I've tried opening up my system more by turning off iptables and
SELinux but that doesn't seem to be the reason
I've looked through troubleshooting guides available from realvnc.com
and some affiliates and just can't figure out what's suddenly going
wrong and why my vnc clients are abruptly closing when trying to
connect. The Server seems ready to go but something goes
wrong. When I
look in the client logfiles.. it's doesn't say anything is
going wrong
and it seems as though a connection was made successfully. Is there a
logfile mantained by the VNC Server itself that can give me
some ideas
as to why the connection is being dropped.
