I have forwarded the port 5900 for TightVNC. I have TightVNC 2.0 Beta4 installed on my Windows Vista machine.

I then try to connect from an Arch Linux box:

[earlz@earlzarch ~]$ vncviewer somehost::5900
Connected to RFB server, using protocol version 3.8
Performing standard VNC authentication
Password:
Authentication successful
vncviewer: VNC server closed connection
[earlz@earlzarch ~]$ vncviewer --help
TightVNC Viewer version 1.3.10

What is wrong here? I thought that TightVNC 2.0 fixed the Vista bug with VNC servers? Is there any additional configuration I needed?
