telnet: could not resolve 192.168.1.147:5900/telnet: Name or service not known

You don't want the colon in there, just:

Code:

telnet 192.168.1.147 5900

That'll be beacuse you're not running a telnet server.

Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1)
Host is up (0.00052s latency).
Hostname localhost resolves to 2 IPs. Only scanned 127.0.0.1
rDNS record for 127.0.0.1: localhost.localdomain
Not shown: 996 closed ports
PORT     STATE SERVICE

3306/tcp open  mysql
5900/tcp open  vnc

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.07 seconds

It certainly looks like you've got a VNC server running on there already, so no need to start tightvncserver. The only question is whether the server is listening on the network, or just on the local machine. Try running (on the laptop):

Code:

netstat -a -n | grep 5900
