96. VNC

2007-12-01-02-06

96. If VNC server responds connection refused 10006 it may mean that on the host
where is the server, the firewall is set.

There is a workaround you have to use a REVERSE mode: vncserver -connect host_ip
with the host ip on the host where viewer has to be run and vncviewer -listen on the
viewer computer. When you are connected you can change firewall settings to allow
vncserver
