An update on this. After playing on my local network and the live server here is what I have observed but still cannot find the issue of the live box yet. Need some assistance if possible.
Local Network: If I start vncserver multiple times on the linux local machine, I always get a new display number. Live Server Box: Starting vncserver multiple times I keep getting the same X desktop display number, i.e 1 . This tells me that starting the vncserver is probably dying straight away. So when I try to connect via the vncviewer remotely the connection is not there so it keeps giving connection not found. If anyone has a good understanding of vnc, may be they can give some help to figure out why this is happening on the live box. May be I am missing some impotant X files. Who knows ??? I shall keep playing around to see if I get somewhere on the live box. Cheers Louis. BTW: I can start vncviewer from my local linux connection using this AfterStep X window manager, and it looks great. I basically edited the xstartup file to start afterstep instead of opening an xterm.

Now from the live server I started vncserver . It asked me to enter a password, blah blah blah ... It generated the 'X' desktop as well. From my PC I stared the viewer and pasted the 'X' desktop session returned by the server , and I am still getting failed to connect. What do I do next ? After installing X do I have to run "startx" before running vncserver ? There is no process "startx" running.
