vncviewer ipaddr:display
so something like :
vncviewer 192.168.1.1:1
where vncserver is using display 1 on the remote box. Windows boxes
default to :0. When you start vncserver on a remote linux box, it'll
dynamically determine which display to use, so you'll want to look at
the info it posts at startup.
You can also use vncpasswd to create a password file to prevent
prompting for a password at startup. Of course, this assume you aren't
using a shared home directory on the two machines...
vncpasswd
cp ~/.vnc/passwd ~/.vnc/server1.pwd
vncviewer server1:1 --passwd ~/.vnc/server1.pwd
