This was just the debugging tip I needed! I've lost the output, but it
contained an entry '127.0.0.1:5901' which brought to mind the strange
(to me) presence of the argument '-localhost' in the server startup
script I was using/"borrowing" from someone on the 'net:
vncserver :01 -rfbport 5901 -geometry 1280x1024 -nevershared
-localhost -depth 16
I knew my desktop was on port 5901; the server log told me that. At
any rate -- you can see this coming, right? <g> -- removing that
goshdarn 'localhost' cured my "connection refused" problem!
Thanks William, and pardon me now while I get back to the "expert" who
gave me that script!
