[plug] Remote desktop question

Greetings to the oh so quite list.

I actually have a question, I have a RedHat, well Fedora actually.
I have a box I set up and then went in and set "System>Internet and
Network>Remote Desktop" with the appropriate options to allow me to remote
desktop to it. I even tested it and all was well. When I now come to connect
across the network to it via vncviewer I find it does not work.
I can ssh to the box and tcpdump confirms that my packets get to it and it
answers:

[rsupport at syslog sysconfig]# tcpdump port 5900
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes

14:48:20.563805 IP syslog.5900 > 192.168.80.80.4558: R 0:0(0) ack 1 win 0

But VNC just says "Failed to connect"
I have been looking for the config files for remote desktop (I have checked
other systems that are working and it does NOT use the vncserver config
file), any suggestions?

Regards,
Chris G
