David, VNC 4 is compatible with the older VNC 3 system, but it's possible that the viewer you are using has some custom modifications that prevent it from working with VNC 4. It's also the case that some third-party viewers (incorrectly) check the server version and disconnect immediately if it is not what they expected. If that is the case then you can use the VNC 4 Protocol3.3 setting to tell Xvnc to use the older protocol version.
