Well, the 'host' command doesn't return any name for the Windows machine so that, more or less, explains it. Anyhow, I'm happy as long as I can get it to work in some form, whether by IP address or by host name so its problem solved as far as I'm concerned. Thanks again

The host command only searches the DNS servers, so that explains why it didn't get a name for the Windows computer.

Make sure you check the firewall. Red Hat typically keeps its firewall closed so
vnc server can't allow a connection
