Help with tight vnc

I have used this many times on servers but I'm setting up a new one
Hosting-Ie is the company( dedi 581 now)
I used Naqs guide to set it up
in putty I put this in vncserver :1
it is running.
I start tight vnc put ip address in with:1 at the end and it will not work.
I did google this but I didn't get anywhere
Blocked ports maybe?
I tried two different computers home and work I did turn off firewall in hoe computer
any help would help me greatly
Thanks

shutdown then restart the vncserver to see if this makes any difference.

I did that first and I rebooted the server also
just tried again
Failed to connect to server!

What's the error you get from tightvnc?
Also post the vnc log too, I wrote the command to display the log in Putty in the guide.

edit: I'd also check iptables to see if there might be a firewall preconfigured which would be blocking the VNC port, type:

# iptables -t filter -L

the output for the 3 chains (INPUT, FORWARD, andOUTPUT) should be empty with policy ACCEPT. If it's not empty, post the output here. And you can use this command to delete all the entries in the firewall:

# iptables -t filter -F

I just did the commands # iptables -t filter -L
and it didn't show anything at all
I didn't see that you had posted this before I put the log file up

you need to type "iptables" while login as root in Putty. The output portion you posted seems fine, that's just the fluxbox configuring itself. I also just added the iptables troubleshoot to the guide.

Naq all fixed:D
Thanks for all your help.
The guide that you put together has helped me.
Again thanks for all your time and effort in putting it together .
:D
