They are a range of private IPs (192.168.0.1-192.168.0.100) and the port is 5950. The VNC server is VMWare Player, running Windows XP Professional for a few apps that absolutely will not run on Linux or in WINE. I used the advanced settings to do it. I also tried the preconfigured and simple rules, too. Nothing worked to allow access unless I set the setting at the top to allow incoming traffic or completely turn off the firewall. Once the connection is established, I can turn it back on or reset the control to deny or reject and will still be able to use VNC.

I have it set to block incoming connections from everything. I then set rules to allow incoming connections from a VNC client on my local network to a VMWare Player VNC setup but no matter what I do with those rules, I cannot connect to the VNC server on my machine unless I change the setting for my profile to Allow for everything. Making and applying rules has no effect if the "Incoming" setting at the top of the application is set to Deny or Reject. The only other option is to turn off the firewall entirely for a moment for the VNC client to connect, and then turn it back on again once a connection is established. Allowing all incoming connections for even a few moments just to use VNC on one port is a security risk.
