Thanks again Alex, I can shift the ports to the 5900 range, although all things being equal I cannot see how this will make any difference. This is what netstat on the client (192.168.0.3) shows: ======================================== C:\WINDOWS\system32>netstat -ano Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID TCP 127.0.0.1:1026 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1796 TCP 127.0.0.1:5802 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1988 TCP 127.0.0.1:5802 127.0.0.1:1357 TIME_WAIT 0 TCP 192.168.0.3:1355 192.168.0.2:28 TIME_WAIT 0 TCP 192.168.0.3:1356 192.168.0.2:28 ESTABLISHED 1988 UDP 0.0.0.0:1028 *:* 976 UDP 0.0.0.0:1039 *:* 976 UDP 0.0.0.0:1053 *:* 976 UDP 0.0.0.0:1092 *:* 976 UDP 127.0.0.1:123 *:* 880 UDP 192.168.0.3:123 *:* 880 ======================================== After I disable the "Only accept connections from the local machine" and it connects to the VNC server (192.168.0.2), the client (192.168.0.3) shows: ======================================== C:\WINDOWS\system32>netstat -ano Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID TCP 127.0.0.1:1026 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1796 TCP 127.0.0.1:1361 127.0.0.1:5802 ESTABLISHED 3812 TCP 127.0.0.1:5802 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 2380 TCP 127.0.0.1:5802 127.0.0.1:1359 TIME_WAIT 0 TCP 127.0.0.1:5802 127.0.0.1:1361 ESTABLISHED 2380 TCP 192.168.0.3:1360 192.168.0.2:28 ESTABLISHED 2380 UDP 0.0.0.0:1028 *:* 976 UDP 0.0.0.0:1039 *:* 976 UDP 0.0.0.0:1053 *:* 976 UDP 0.0.0.0:1092 *:* 976 UDP 127.0.0.1:123 *:* 880 UDP 192.168.0.3:123 *:* 880 ======================================== And this is what the server (192.168.0.2) shows when I cannot connect: ======================================== F:\Documents and Settings\salcol>netstat -ano Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID TCP 0.0.0.0:28 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1948 TCP 127.0.0.1:1027 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 908 TCP 127.0.0.1:1042 127.0.0.1:1043 FIN_WAIT_2 1948 TCP 127.0.0.1:1043 127.0.0.1:1042 CLOSE_WAIT 1948 TCP 127.0.0.1:1045 127.0.0.1:1044 TIME_WAIT 0 TCP 127.0.0.1:5803 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 252 TCP 192.168.0.2:28 192.168.0.3:1356 ESTABLISHED 1948 UDP 0.0.0.0:1040 *:* 1468 UDP 127.0.0.1:123 *:* 1400 UDP 127.0.0.1:1041 *:* 1948 UDP 127.0.0.1:1047 *:* 240 UDP 192.168.0.2:123 *:* 1400 ======================================== and this is what it shows when a connection has been established: ======================================== F:\Documents and Settings\salcol>netstat -ano Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID TCP 0.0.0.0:28 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1948 TCP 0.0.0.0:5803 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1988 TCP 127.0.0.1:1027 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 908 TCP 127.0.0.1:1049 127.0.0.1:1050 FIN_WAIT_2 1948 TCP 127.0.0.1:1050 127.0.0.1:1049 CLOSE_WAIT 1948 TCP 127.0.0.1:1051 127.0.0.1:1052 TIME_WAIT 0 TCP 192.168.0.2:28 192.168.0.3:1360 ESTABLISHED 1948 TCP 192.168.0.2:1055 192.168.0.2:5803 ESTABLISHED 652 TCP 192.168.0.2:5803 192.168.0.2:1055 ESTABLISHED 1988 UDP 0.0.0.0:1040 *:* 1468 UDP 127.0.0.1:123 *:* 1400 UDP 127.0.0.1:1041 *:* 1948 UDP 127.0.0.1:1054 *:* 652 UDP 192.168.0.2:123 *:* 1400 ======================================== Meanwhile, I read this in the Documentation: " If VNC Server is configured to accept connections only via local loopback then the Hosts option is ignored.
