CORRECTION : Can't connect to Xserver SHOULD BE Can't connect to XVNCserver

I've got a RH 9 machine running, with x/kde.

From 2 different Windows machines (Win2k and Win98), I can't seem to
connect to the vncserver on the RH system. (failed to connect to
server is displayed, when I connect from the client)

After looking at the System Service Configuration tool in KDE, the
Status for vncserver shows "Xvnc is stopped". When I restart the vnc
service, "VNC server start was successful is displayed in a message
box, yet the staus still shows "Xvnc is stopped"

What am I doing wrong ?

On the server machine, go to the .vnc directory of the user who started
vncserver. In that directory should be a log file which may contain
something useful.

Please post log file(/home/USER/.vnc/SOMETHING1.log) .

Also when your connecting you should give the port number.
Example 192.168.1.101:5901

Edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers

If you can remain calm, you just don't have all the facts
