updated, now cant vnc/screen share but can ssh

Brand new snow leopard server install. Did some light updating of settings (modified hostname enabled services) and the initial system update to 10.6.4. Restarted and now I CAN SSH to the machine but i CANNOT vnc/screen share to it... it just times out fails to connect and says to make sure that screen sharing is enabled.

Tried the suggestions in this doc but no luck

Anyone experience the same? Any tips? Thanks in advance

Edit: I noticed other services are down like web as I had a default page loading before via ip in browser, not sure how to get back into VNC/Screen share to start up and check services 😟

Tried ipfw set disable and ipfw list to see if 5900 was being blocked and it didnt work.

Hi there. Thanks, I'll check the firewall-config again. But I'm quite sure that ipfw is completely off. Might be an issue with the adaptive firewall (impossible if ipfw is off) or the local apüplication firewall on the server itself?!

Strange...

I am experiencing this exact same issue. Updated to 10.6.4, and have now lost the ability to pull up the served screen using ARD. Using kickstart didn't help. All other services seem to be functioning fine. Has anyone solved this?
