This has been driving me nuts since last night. It turns out that on my FC6 machine "localhost" doesn''t resolve properly. Everything was listening on port 5900, but it looks like vncviewer etc just couldn''t work out to connect to 127.0.0.1. Using "vncviewer 127.0.0.1" worked fine. In resolve.conf I had: ::1 lair6.remcc.org lair6 localhost.localdomain localhost I changed this to 127.0.0.1 lair6.remcc.org lair6 localhost.localdomain localhost Hopefully this is the same problem you''re having. Good luck, Robert

I have never seen :::1 in /etc/hosts before, do you know why it was set that way?
Justin ::1 is ipv6 localhost address, like 127.0.0.1 is in ipv4 Raúl.

Ok, didn''t know that. I went into system-config-network and it shows ipv6 (not checked for enabled). I''ve changed the services for ip6tables to off too.
