Do you have XP's built in firewall turned off?? Sounds like it's still on. It's in the TCP/IP settings somewhere, I personally have only used it once or twice.
You can test this by putting a VNC server on the same subnet as your viewer box and trying it from there. Also you can test basic connectivity via telnet by "telnet <IP of VNC server> 5900", assuming you're using the default port. You should see an "RFB 3.xxx" message if you're successfull. If you have non-XP boxes to test with, you could also probably get a more definitive answer as well.

However, I have hit a problem that I can't resolve and I'm hoping one of you will have an answer ! The situation is: I have the viewer on my machine (WinXP) which has an ip of 192.168.0.32/24. We have an ISDN connection between two Cisco routers to another network 192.168.1.x/24. I have a default gateway set up correctly.I am connecting to a Windows 98 (or a Windows NT 4.0 - neither work) machine which is runnning the VNC server. I can connect to the remote network via ping and telnet, but whenever I launch the VNC viewer and type in the same IP as ping/telnet it times out saying it could not find the remote server. There is also no call initiated on the router. The router has no access-control or filtering set at all (other than to allow IP) so it can't be the port or packet type ? It appears that somehow VNC traffic is not getting routed to the default gateway. Everything else however seems to work fine. Help !
