If the firewall is truly the issue you still will have a problem.
Also, depending on what you want to do, running VNC via xinetd (which is
what the above does) may not be what you want.

Redhat 7.2 uses iptables for the firewalling.  You can disable it by using
"GNOME Lokkit" via the gui, or use "/sbin/service ipchains stop".  For more
information look at RH's documentation:
