Problems with "Add new client" command NT server and Solaris listener

Folks,

	I am having problems connecting an Solaris Listening VNC client (3.3.3)
from an NT VNC Server (3.3.3r2) while using the "Add New Client" command.

	The Solaris client appears to be listening:

vncviewer -listen: Listening on port 5661 (flash port 5561)
vncviewer -listen: Command line errors are not reported until a connection
comes in.

------------
Begin Note:

Note: I have to use the IP address of the server when trying to run in
listen mode on Solaris, though the name can be resolved in DNS.  Anyway,
when I use the actual name I get the following error:

	vncviewer: cannot work out which display number to listen on.
	Please specify explicitly with -listen <num>

End Note:
------------

	Now, when I try and connect, I get the following error below.  I have used
both the workstation name and its IP address.  Both fail in the same manner.

	"Failed to connect to listening VNC viewer"

	The Solaris VNC viewer can connect to the server fine while it is not in
listen mode.

Thanks,
Eric
