Failed to connect: connection refused (10061)

[Jeff Hignett]

Mick,

My Mac firewall is off completely. I specified the address as follows:

jhignett-mac:~ jhignett$ telnet 172.16.233.13 5900
Trying 172.16.233.13...
Connected to 172.16.233.13.
Escape character is '^]'.
RFB 003.003
:Unable to open license file: No such file or directory (2)Connection closed
by foreign host.


James, 

I double checked the IP and it is indeed the correct one. The VNC server is
running as well. 

I also wanted to add, I can use ARD fine, which also uses port 5900. So im a
little perplexed...

Thanks again guys for the prompt responses! Any other thoughts or
suggestions?

Jeff
