Hello,

I just did a new install of proxmox 3 but am having problems connecting to the VNC via java in chrome and firefox. I get a timeout error in my java log (running win7 with Java v7 update 21 - the latest). My java log shows:

Code:
Initializing...
Connecting to 192.168.2.200, port 5900...
Network error: could not connect to server: 192.168.2.200:5900
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

Running netstat, I don't see anything listening on port 5900. I tried to see if vnc is even running by executing a PS command on the proxmox shell...
Code:
root@proxmox:/root# ps ax | grep "vnc"
2761 ?        Sl    12:03 /usr/bin/kvm -id 100 -chardev socket,id=qmp,path=/var/run/qemu-server/100.qmp,server,nowait -mon chardev=qmp,mode=control -vnc unix:/var/run/qemu-server/100.vnc,x509,password -pidfile /var/run/qemu-server/100.pid -daemonize -name vpn -smp sockets=1,cores=1 -nodefaults -boot menu=on -vga cirrus -k en-us -m 1024 -cpuunits 1000 -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=uhci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -device usb-tablet,id=tablet,bus=uhci.0,port=1 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -drive if=none,id=drive-ide2,media=cdrom,aio=native -device ide-cd,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide2,id=ide2,bootindex=200 -drive file=/var/lib/vz/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ide0,format=qcow2,aio=native,cache=none -device ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0,id=ide0,bootindex=100 -netdev type=tap,id=net0,ifname=tap100i0,script=/var/lib/qemu-server/pve-bridge -device e1000,mac=82:4D:EB:47:B9:1C,netdev=net0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x12,id=net0,bootindex=300

There is no firewall on the server. My java version allows me to connect to consoles on my other proxmox server running 2.3, so I don't think it is java. I have read other threads from people having similar problems but their fixes involved reinstalling java (which I tried) or other solutions which don't apply to my situation. So.. anyone have any ideas on the next step I can take? Thanks.
