generally, whenever i see "10061", 9 times out of ten it's a "uuuggghhhhh... reinstalling the tcp/ip stack..."

This is why there is no logged connection in the .log file. Possible causes are: - Broken TCP stack on the second machine - Broken DNS setip on the second machine (what form of VNC Viewer address do you use?) - A firewall configuration at the server that permits connections only from certain addresses - A firewall configuration at the server that permits connections only via certain network interfaces - Some sort of firewall software on the second machine, that is aborting the connection at the source.
