OK, I am trying to get the VNC server running on my SuSE 6.4 (2.2.16) box.
I downloaded the latest VNC from their website and followed their directions
for running it.

I execute the following command:

Cd to directory hosting VNC

./vncserver (I have also tried executing the Xvnc and I have already
established a password).

After executing the above command, SuSE tells me "New X desktop is madness:1
(where madness is the host name).

Now, I try to connect from a windows based machine using the vnc viewer and
I always get the could not connect (ad-lib) error..

Anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?  I have tried to connect to the
vnc server by both IP and host name.

Thanks for any input!!!
