Why do I receive "unable connect to socket: No route to host (113)"

■ Error : Why do I receive "unable connect to socket: No route to host (113)"
■ OS Environment : Linux[RHEL, Centos]
■ Application: vncviewer 
■ Resolution : 

  •  Please check the firewall in the linux server.  Please allow the ports 5801,5901 and 6001 in the iptables or firewall. 
  • Then restart the firewall and try to connect to the server. 
  • Disable firewall.
  • Make sure proper gateway is setup for all defined routes.

    Hi Sathees,

    Have you checked whether vnc server is running or not?

    Try stopping the iptables using:

    #chkconfig --del iptables
    #service iptables stop

    This actually worked for me.

    Stopping iptablels is not correct idea. This will be a security breach.
