I assume you started the VNC server, and connected to the same display with the viewer?
Is the SL system running a firewall?
Can you ssh to the SL system?

Greetings - this is my first post :)

I have a brand new SL 6.9 running in a virtual machine on a VMware server. It has Tiger VNC 1.1.0-24.el6 to which I want to connect with VNC Viewer 6.0.3 from my Windows 7 workstation. When I try, the VNC Viewer tells me "The connection was refused by the computer".

I read different forums and tried editing '/etc/sysconfig/vncservers', etc., but the result is the same.  Being a total newbie to SL, I would really appreciate your advice!
