I appreciate your responses Turns out that the previous administrator loaded up WinVNC 3.3.x and I didn't know about it. This can go back to Jason's question, why didn't they use terminal services? I was just trying to test it, and that was the computer next to me to use. Turns out that was the problem. Both apparently were opening the same port; however the WinVNC was collecting the incoming requests. This meant that all the configurations I was using for RealVNC Enterprise weren't doing any bloody good.
Removed the redundant VNC server, and it works like a charm!!!! Thanks!!

If "no password is ever right" then you're typing in the wrong password, or you haven't set a password at the server! It's worth checking what you're typing by typing the same password into something like notepad at both server & viewer, to check that you are really typing the same thing on both. Also make sure that you are configuring VNC Server for the correct mode (usually Service-Mode). What is the error message you get after entering the password? [No Encryption] means that the VNC session won't be encrypted - this is always the case for VNC Free Edition. With VNC Enterprise Edition at both ends, you have the option of 128-bit encryption.
