I' m a of network with many computers with different OS. As a game I installed Real VNC on my computer and a friend installed on his FC 9 laptop using yum.
The problem is that I can' t connect to his computer:
I get the message: Unable to connect to host: Connection refused.
When he checks vnc log the message expected keysym, got XF86Info: line 914 of inet.
We search online and found a "solution": install a older version of vnc, we did and now the vncservice doesn' t start because of a missing library.
I' m sorry that made a mess, he had trouble already setting up the connection to the internet and samba.
Any ideas on how to do it?

Use the most recent version, then make sure he sets a password, and that you know what it is. Also, check to see if there is a firewall in place, and if vnc can get through it, depending on what type it is. Also, he'll have to set vnc to listen for incoming connection requests.

Make sure to specify the port number that the server is running on. 5901 and 5900 are pretty common.

I had to reinstall the system because the new version didn' t work, disabled the firewall and SELinux policies, set the password to be the same as his account wrote the command as
vncviewer IPAddress:5900
and still the same error.
I thought that when you start the vncserver and setting the geometry it is already accepting connections.

I have reinstalled vnc server and X driver for VNC using yum reinstall, give the user a password using vncpasswd and it works now on his computer.
