Thanks! I forgot the magic of the Windows Reboot. After turning off the Windows Firewall and REBOOTING, everything is working okay. I can now to connect to any of these machines without a problem. Funny how it worked with the firewall on until MS came out with some new security patches. - Scott

Scott, Can you check the Application Event Log on the problem server machine, to determine whether connections are even being received by VNC Server? If the computers in question are on a LAN, protected by a NAT firewall, then you probably don't want to leave a firewall enabled on the computers themselves.
