What method are you using to control desktop :0?
Are you using a loadable X module, or perhaps running x0vncserver?
Unlike "vncserver", I don't believe these methods allow HTTP access via
the java applet.
Personally, I use the x11vnc server to control my :0 desktop, and love
it. It's very fast, fully supports the java applet (make sure to run
with -http switch) and has all kinds of other functionality (such as
sharing a single window instead of the whole desktop).
If you're curious, you can download RPM's for RH9 from here:

Good luck.

I have recently setup VNC (Version 4.1.1), with the VNC Server running on a
RedHat Linux 9 ("my Linux PC"), and VNC Viewer on a Windows XP (SP2).
After I run "vncserver :1" on my Linux PC, I can access the vnc server
desktop 1 on the server, using either a browser or a vnc viewer from my XP. I
can even get a Gnome desktop.
The problem I have is trying to access the native display on my Linux PC. I
can only do that from a vnc viewer, but not from a browser.
After I boot up up my Linux PC (and with or without running "vncserver :1") ,
I can access the native desktop from my XP, using a vnc viewer (by typing in
"myvncserver:0" into the server field when the "vnc server: connection
details" dialog comes up. It works like a charm.
However, when I tried to access the native display by using a browser (with
the url http://myvncserver:5800), the connection was refused. I am at a loss
as to why. I checked the router in front of my Linux PC, and the port 5800,
5801 5900 and 5901 are forwarded to my Linux PC, and the iptables at
/etc/sysconfig also have the appropriate lines opening up 5800, 5801, 5900,
5901 for input.
With desktop 1 running, I can connect to my Linux PC with
http://myvncserver:5801. The applet will load and the "vnc server: connection
details" dialog opens up, and I can type into the server field "myvncserver:0"
to access the native display or "myvncserver:1" to access the desktop 1.
Question is why can't I access the native display with http://myvncserver:5800
?????
