The vnc client should connect at port TCP 59xx , and
the http client on 58xx

Just never try to connect to localhost:5800 or localhost:5900 , since you get
an endless loop of windows :-)

The port 5800 and 5900 is the current shared desktop. while 5801 . 5901 is a new
desktop.

Just fix it in YaST/Hardware/Graphics Card and Monitor/Remote access

Set all boxes inclusive a vnc password , and http port 5800

Also make sure your firewall is open for TCP 5800:5801 at least for your local
network.
(I should not have this open from Internet, since NX is much safer for this)
