Is vncserver running on ydl? (I know, but start at the basics)
Which port is vncserver offering (5901?)

Is ydl running a local firewall blocking the port?
Is vncviewer going to the right port?  (:1 is 5901, :2 is 5902, etc)
Is there a local firewall on the centos running?

Try telnet ydl 5901.  You should see this if you get through:
Trying x.x.x.x...
Connected to ydl.
Escape character is '^]'.
RFB 003.008
