I'm trying to get vnc-server working, but can't seem to get
there.
Whenever i try to connect from a remote windows machine, i get failed
to connect to server. If needed, I can post any config files needed.
I've searched everywhere and haven't found a thing. Thanks in advance.

Make sure your firewall rules allow a connection from port 590x (x
= the
VNC server running so 5901 for the first one).
If you want the remote desktop to look like a console login, you'll need
something like the following:
[dave@fraud ~]# cat .vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
# xsetroot -solid grey
# vncconfig -iconic &
# xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
gnome-session
The default is very simple and ugly (the comment lines above are the
default).
Cheers,
Dave
