VNC server/viewer problem

[Jay Ridgley]

Hi Y'all,

  Well I shot myself in the foot!

  I installed vncserver on a system I wanted to control remotely
  I installed vncviewer on the system I was  working from
  No problems

  I then started up the process IT WORKED!

I then changed the display I was working on to full screen and could not 
get back; yeah I know RTFM first but I didn't... I forced a reboot of my 
system and tried again and got the following message:

Connection to host "the_host:5900" was closed.

I have restarted both systems, no help. Searched the VNC site for 
information on the error and was not able to find anything that 
indicated a solution. I also tried searching the Ubuntu forum...

I have enabled port 5900 for the viewing_host in firestarter.

The message still appears...

I am running 4.08 LTS and VNC 4.1 on both systems

Has anyone else had this problem and solved it? Other ideas??

Regards,
Jay (the guy with the egg on his face)
