Well that'll teach me to read the instructions more carefully :) Still ... my skills of figuring stuff out has improved now. I discovered /var/log for the first time! Very useful place to discover what's going on! Thanks again. Doh!

You're absolutey right - the steps for Fedora 14 are a bit different than for 12. That's why the first paragraph of this post links to my updated instructions that are specific to Fedora 14. :) Glad to see you figured it out, tho! Hi, Alan.

SSHD server wasn't enabled/running on Fedora so I had to start this up (and first install the services config manager to the desktop) 2. When attempting to access VNC from outside my router I kept getting "The connection closed unexpectedly" messages from my VNC client. This turned out to be because of SELinux on Fedora blocking SSHD from doing name_connect access. My SELinux gave me a command to run as root which solved the problem. After finding out about these problems on the interweb it all worked fine! Hope this helps anyone else having similar issues :) Great guide, thanks :)
