Larry, Great info! I'm looking at the log file now. I'll also check out the "google" suggestion.
Thanks!

It may give you more details as to what is going wrong. If you have logged into started the program and then logged out. vncserver will have stopped so nothing is listening for the vncviewer. If you want to get to a desktop on this machine without having to login and start the vncserver. Follow the directions in the Xvnc man page for setting up inetd. On most modern Linux distributions, you will have to translate this info into xinetd stuff but if you google vnc inetd linux you will come to a page or two that will show you the details about how to set that up.
