error connection refused 10061 - linux fedora with solution

[Steve Root]

Just a quick post for the benefit of others who may be having similar 
problems to the ones I had.

New install of Fedora (core 5) turned on VNC, turned off the firewall 
and SELinux. Still got connection refused (10061) error.  The problem 
was simply not specifying the display I wanted to connect to. On Windows 
I've always just typed the IP (eg 10.18.6.100) and it worked, but to 
connect to the Fedora machine I needed to type 10.18.6.100:1
