FreeBSD problems

Hi,

I have 3 computers, 2 W2K machines and 1 FBSD.  VNC is installed on all.  I can access one W2K from the other W2K  and vice versa, but I cannot get to the FBSD machine from either, nor can I get to either W2K from the FBSD.

I checked IPFW on FBSD: it is not blocking any packets for VNC, and I even turned off IPFW just for good measure.  Still it is not working.

I am current with CVSup and I installed VNC from the ports collection today.  PS says that vncserver is running, and when I use vncviewer, the IP dialogue box pops up, but when I enter a valid IP, it just returns blank as if I could enter a fresh IP into it.  No error messages are returned.  From W2K, the error messageis "could not connect to server." I am using 4.4 Release (FBSD).

This should be so simple, that I don't know what to do about it.  Does anyone have any helpful thoughts as to what the problem could be?

Thank you,

vberic
