Unfortunately, I have ceased using Windows XP, and the computer from which I used VNC connections also has ceased to function. I am now using a DisplayLink device to give me a third screen rather than using VNC to access a virtual machine from another machine to do it.

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.
