Connection failure

[Steven J. Reilly]

Hi,

I have recently built three Mandrake 8.2 PC's and have installed VNC 3.3.3r2-9 client and server on all three.

On all three I can start vncserver but only on two of them can I connect using 'vncviewer -shared <machinename>:1'
On the third I get a "vncviewer: VNC server closed connection" message
Or if I try to connect from a browser I get a "Page cannot be diplayed" message.

The server log file gives lots of "Refused connection from client <ip_address>" messages but no real sense of where the problem lies.

The beginning of the log file goes;

09/08/02 12:19:44 Xvnc version 3.3.3r2+tight1.1p9

09/08/02 12:19:44 Protocol version supported 3.3
09/08/02 12:19:44 Listening for VNC connections on TCP port 5901
09/08/02 12:19:44 Listening for HTTP connections on TCP port 5801
09/08/02 12:19:44   URL http://machine.name.com:5801

Everything looks OK.
I'm stumpted!

TIA

Steve
