Hi dispie

I'm not sure why you can't connect but try enabling remote desktop from
system>preferences>remote desktop

it should work. if it still won't connect try opening vncviewer on the n900 from the app menu instead of using the terminal and input your_IP_address:1 and not the server name. Then it should ask for the password if the connection is alright.
