The best setup of vnc is at 
http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp. Once setup, point a 
vncviewer to servermachine:50 to see it work. For exampel from the console, do 
`vncviewer localhost:50`. It should give a login box inside the vncviewer.

Once that works, try to connect from a remote machine. If that fails it is most 
likely the firewall or routing to the machine.
