Think I may have solved it or at least got it working, I was starting vnc server
as the wife logged onto the PC, but I found that if I ssh-ed into the PC and
logged in as me and then started the vncserver I can connect with the vnc
client. It is probably not the best way but at least it works.
Thanks for all the advice
Tim
