Hi fpmurphy,

Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded & installed vnc-server-4.1.2-35.fc10.x86_64.rpm as root.
and made following change in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file
Code:
VNCSERVERS="1:vct"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 800x600 -nolisten tcp -nohttpd -localhost"

as vct user set vncpasswd
and as root user started vncserver by
Code:
service vncserver start

Code:
root@console-0124 .vnc]# service vncserver start
Starting VNC server: 1:vct
New 'console-0124.local:1 (vct)' desktop is console-0124.local:1
Starting applications specified in /home/vct/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/vct/.vnc/console-0124.local:1.log
[ OK ]

then started vncviewer and tried to connect as console-0124.local:1
then i got error as
Code:
unable to resolve host by name: the requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for. (11004)

.

and when i tried to connect via ip address then i got

Code:
unable to connect to host: A socket operation was attempted to an ureachable host (10065)

what is wrong.
Is this because of my old incorrect rpm installations ?
xstart file in /home/vct/.vnc is as follows

Code:
[vct@console-0124 .vnc]$ more xstartup
#!/bin/sh
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &

here i did not find following lines to uncomment

Code:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

and xstartup file in roots home dir is also same.
what went wrong.
Thanks in advance!
