Do a netstat -l for me.
check if the Vnc service is installed in /etc/rc/d/init.d
If it is /etc/rc/d/init.d/vncserver start (or whatever the vnc init file
is).
netstat -l again see if it's listening on port 5900 (I think).

Nope you created a new vncserver instance.
Shesh scrap the above it works.
SSH to the box and do
telnet localhost 5900
telnet localhost 5901
telnet localhost 5902
.
.
Any results ? Also I assume your redhat box is networked can you vnc to it
