Correct me if i'm wrong, but you are trying to connect to myfc3:1 (That's screen 1) and VNC is running on screen 0..... tried connecting to myfc3:0 ?

I tried myfc3, myfc3:0, myfc3:1, none of them worked.

/etc/sysconfig/vncservers

VNCSERVERS="1:myfc3"

Have you tried connecting to myfc3:5901 in VNCviewer? I think 5900 and 5800 are the standard ports (AFAIK), and yours are raised by 1.

TightVNC

Connection details, VNC Server: myfc3.mydomain.com:1

Popup error: info: Failed to connect to server

:confused: what's left... er.. firewall allows tcp traffic on VNC ports?

[root@myfc3 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Any update on this issue?
