Any ideas > on what needs fixing? There might be something like local looping which can cause a problem. Best to use an other machine to run vncviewer. Do you have the vncserver for M$Windows also running? That might cause a problem if you run on display :0. Try to put one of them on :1 or any other display number. Keep in mind: the X protocol uses port (6000 + display) just as vnc uses port (5900 + display). Are both ports free? or do you happen to have a Xserver already running at your machine? btw, I expect no firewalling running... > > I'm building and running on a ThinkPad with Windows 2000 and 256MB of > memory.

Sonds like you get a connection. Your log points me to loopback problems.
