naa, now you are mixing some things.... THe sourcecodecorner link is for advanced users and unix systemadmins that know something about what they are doing. It needs to have the basic vnc setup running or at least able to run.

Gnome as Xserver ??? Let's just forget on gnome at this point. > > If I try "xserver :0" I get the following message. "A VNC > server is already > running as :0" What `xserver :0`, do you mean `vncserver :0`? IF so, just use an other number. Say `vncserver :3`. Then you can open a vncviewer to " <nodename>:3". On the other hand, If you don't specify a display number, the `vncserver` script will find you a free one and report the number. The message should say "a vncserver or other X server is already running as :0" Generally, there is a X server at the console which defaults to :0. Since Xvnc (the core of vncserver) uses the X11 protocol at the unix side, it needs a free port in that range too. If no dedicated ports for the X11 protocol is given, it defaults to the same display number as for the vnc viewer. The only difference is the base: 6000 for the X11 protocol, 5900 for the rfb (==vnc) protocol (and 5800 for the html/java server). If one of the ports is occupied, Xvnc will fail. > > I can telnet to the port, and I have checked the XDMPC. What port? What do you get?
