I wanted to use VNC, but seem to be unable to bind the port forwarding. I'm not sure how to diagnose the problem:

Code:
debug1: Local connections to LOCALHOST:5900 forwarded to remote address 127.0.0.1:5900 debug1: Local forwarding listening on ::1 port 5900. bind: Address already in use debug1: Local forwarding listening on 127.0.0.1 port 5900. bind: Address already in use channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 5900 Could not request local forwarding.
My guts says it's something wrong with my iMac, not the remote Windoze computer, but I've verified that software firewall is off. I tried to open port 5900 on both sides, just to make sure it wasn't in use, but it didn't take. Since I am initiating the connection, there should be no need to configure my local router, right? Other place I should look at?
