Is 10.10.100.153 the same server?  Is your vncviewer listening to the
default 5500 port?  I just tried on my RH 7.3 machine and it starts the
listener on 5501, so:

$ vncconnect -display :2 10.10.100.153:2

This sounds more like an xauth error?  Are you trying to start the
vncconnect at a console or a terminal in an X session?

Again, looks like xauth.  Please explain exactly what you have done to
start the server, viewer, and vncconnect.  For example:

On machine A: start vncserver using "vncserver :1"
On machine B: start vncviewer in listen mode (in an existing X session)
"vncviewer -listen" (note port reported)
On machine A: start vncconnect "vncconnect -display :1 machineA:port"
