I shut down the guest machine, and could then connect to the host, so
that was some progress. Restarting the guest, I could not then connect
to the guest except via the vmware console. Eventually after a series
of turning off desktop sharing and turning back on, I can successfully
connect to both simultaneously.
It also took a couple of rounds of applying the "uninvited connection"
options before they were followed.
So: SOLVED though why I'm not sure, perhaps some issue with the service
being announced by the guest. Which persisted across 2 or 3 reboots of
both host and guest while I had been seeing the issue. Thanks to
everyone for their replies.

vmware server was originally configured with bridged networking, and I
didn't configure NAT or host-only. For the guest machine neptune that
is being incorrectly connected to, the console reports the correct DNS
name, and correct IP address for the nic., and the only network
adapter listed under hardware is of type bridged (being the only
option available). This all seems sane, and I don't see any host
settings related to networking. And this is latest v2.02 version.
Perhaps of relevance, there is an XP guest also running on this host,
to which vnc connections can be made as expected.

Hi,
How have you set up the virtual nics on the VMWare server? sounds
like you might want to look there unless IPcop is messing with it.
cheers
