"Failed to connect to server" - VPS Problem

Sometimes, I get the "failed to connect to server" message when I try to log onto my VPS. I usually have a friend fix them for me, but I personally don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

usually it's because it rebooted or crashed.

what you need to do is open a SSH connection to it (puTTY/terminal) and re-initiate the vncserver command.

Like coton said, your VNC might've crashed, and you'll need to go on PuTTy or something similair to re-activate it. It's on the RSBots VPS guide.
