Unless you have a crossover cable between the two machines the connection *will* be going through the router, as in the vast majority of home networks it's the router which establishes the LAN by issuing related IP addresses to the connected computers.
Checklist: * Can you ping one machine from another (may need to enable "echo" under the ICMP section of the firewall) or see one from another in any way? * Have you set up the 'connections' tab in the server to allow connections from the other machine? (tip: try adding 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 to the list of networks) * Is your firewall set to allow winvnc4.exe to allow incoming connections?

There is no need for either machine to be able to pass through the router, much less access the Internet. I'm getting a 10060 error.
