We are using VNC on Windows 2000. However, the Windows 2000 machines are
actually virtual machines running on a RH7.0 box running VMware GSX
server.

If you are under Windows, please ignore this message...

You're going to have problems with ports in the 6000-7000 range, because
those are the X server ports.  Technically, a VNC server is two servers
in
one -- it is a VNC server at port 59xx and an X server at port 60xx.  X
applications look to the 60xx ports to find their servers.  So a VNC
server
at display :101 would have both its X server on port 6101 and its VNC
server ports open on port 6001, which will conflict with any X server at
display :1.
