A VNC Server can pretty easily be setup to accept connections only from specific IP addresses. If you’re trying to connect from a different IP adddress you’ll have trouble — you’re supposed to. On a Windows VNC Server look for VNC registry keys such as: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\AuthHosts or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\LoopbackOnly See http://www.realvnc.com/winvnc.html#4 for details. On a Linux VNC Server, check for entries in the “hosts.deny” file or in the packet-filter scripts.
