Thanks Robert, The VNC server is now running on our proxy server box, 
and it can
connect to itself via the vncviewer, so like you say it must be a firewall
issue. I've had a look and a play with iptables and added:

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state --dport 80 --state NEW -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state --dport 5901 --state NEW 
-j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state --dport 5801 --state NEW 
-j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state -s 10.0.0.1 --dport 443 --state
NEW -j ACCEPT

but I still can't get through to connect to other vnc servers.

Can you help?

Best regards,

Debbie
