The only thing I have done in Yast is enabled VNC which I thougt was remote administration. Then I opened VNC on the firewall. If it's not, remote administration, I have been on the wrong track. Ultimatly I want to be able to administer a server remotly in the office by seeing its desktop using either a web browser or another client. If your familiar with Radmin for Window, a feature like that. Radmin uses viewer instead of a web browser. Either way, I don't care.

I enable remote VNC in Yast and changed the firewall to allow VNC. I then rebooted the server just to be safe because it said I had to "rcxdm restart" from a console. I then tried to access the server using Firefox, which has Java enabled, by typing http://servername:5801
At that point i'm asked for a VNC password.
When you say you enabled remote VNC, do you mean "remote administration"?
If so, then this is wrong. You shouldn't be seeing a VNC password prompt, you should see a login screen.
Exactly which option in YaST did you choose, and what else have you done to configure VNC?
