It turns out that on my FC6 machine "localhost" doesn't resolve properly. Everything was listening on port 5900, but it looks like vncviewer etc just couldn't work out to connect to <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a>. Using "vncviewer <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a>" worked fine. In resolve.conf I had: ::1 <a href="http://lair6.remcc.org">lair6.remcc.org</a> lair6 localhost.localdomain localhost I changed this to <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a> <a href="http://lair6.remcc.org">lair6.remcc.org</a> lair6 localhost.localdomain localhost Hopefully this is the same problem you're having.

I have never seen :::1 in /etc/hosts before, do you know why it was set that way?
