vinoi server issue - cant connect xp to hardy

[mielie007]

hopefully someone can help

i have recently upgrade my server from feisty to hardy. i had just got the vnc working with vino under localhost connection and then i did the upgrade and now i can get it working again. i have looked on the net, i can't find anything that can tell me how to resolve the problem.

i tried this command to activate vncviewer

vncviewer localhost:0

then i get the following error

i have gone to system >> preferences >>remote desktop and enabled

please can someone give me some guidance to resolve this issue

You can run

sudo lsof -i -n

to see what ports are available, there should be something on port 5900 for VNC.

It's likely that the server isn't running
