Hi Tony,

Yep, made sure that was checked and even went back and told it not to
require a password just in case that was messing things up. Still just
sits there. I thought it might be a firewall issue but I'm able to
actually connect to the machine so that couldn't be it.

Could it be that I'm not attaching to the right desktop?  The only
desktop currently running is :1, but do I need to specify that in my
connection? If so, I have no idea how to do that in TightVNC. Putting
ip_address:1 indicates port 1.

Thanks!
Anthony
