Paul, If you're getting error 10061, that means that the computer you are actually connecting to responded to reject the connection. This might be because the VNC Server isn't running, or because you're connecting to the wrong computer.
Given that you're also seeing "Connection rejected by user" but not seeing the prompt on the machine you think you're connecting to, I'd guess you're connecting to a different computer from the one you mean to.
