Fedora 8, how to get VNC into a Windows XP box working?

One thing I do NEED to get working is VNC, to allow me to view and operate my main Windows PC from my Fedora 8 Linux enabled laptop. With Fedora 8 I can access files via a cabled network, on the Windows PC, which is called emu, but VNC fails to find this PC, which does have VNC server running. The laptop finds it and runs VNC fine under Windows though. Do I have to do something other than load VNC under Fedora 8 to make it work? Thanks again

Ideally you want to install vncviewer onto fedora, there should be an RPM for it, however you can also use a browser and go to http://machine:5900 or is it http://machine:5800 I can't remember which.
