Broken VNC?

[Navrax]

I'll start ssh

 

/etc/init.d/sshd start

 

Then, from my winbox I'll start PuTTY, load my vnc settings ( The forwarded ports, etc) then I'll open and log into my box via ssh. Yay! BUT, when I open vncviewer on windows, and try and open localhost:1 it just hangs! Normally I would get dialogue to input a password to vnc! :(

I did the following command on the linux box where i wanted to vnc to

Code:

ssh -L 5901:localhost:5900 user@vncip

 

nmap shows vnc to be up. However, when I open up vncviewer on my Winbox and try to go to localhost:1, instead of a passwd dialogue I get a message IN TERMINAL everytime I try to vncviewer localhost:1 I get a message saying

 

Code:

channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused

 

Also, when checking my logs I found this.

Code:

tail -f ~/.vnc/tux:1.log
_XSERVTransSocketINETAccept: ...SocketINETGetPeerAddr() failed:
