Did you check that there are no firewalls that are blocking remote access to the VNC ports you are using ?<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
A long time ago I had a successful connection from my Windows to a Linux (Fedora Core) using VNC.<br />
I now have to redo some work on that Linux machine (down for 2 years !)<br />
But now it fails<br />
I get a connection refused error 10061 when trying to access it<br />
I have reviewed the config and it looks ok on Linux side :<br />
I checked the startup config for vncservers. it contains 1:myname in the list<br />
As myname, I ran vncpasswd to respecify my password<br />
I reboot the Linux and verified that Xvnc was running (vncserver -kill :1 and then vncserver :1)<br />
But got again the 10061 error<br />
Whatelse should I check ?<br />

VNC connection error 10061 (connection refused)

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
