I have been trying VNC4.1 (free version)  on 3 computers, all on the local side 
of my router:

1) OS/2 workstation     192.168.1.2
2) XP workstation       192.168.1.100
3) XP Laptop            192.168.1.102

Machines 1 and 2 are hard wired to the router and the laptop is connected on 
the local wireless.  I can ping to any 
machine from any other machine.

I have tried the following combinations

        Server  Viewer  Success
        on 1    on 2    yes
        on 3    on 2    yes
        on 3    on 1    yes
        on 2    on 1    no - failue to connect
        on 2    on 3    no - failue to connect

For both  XP machines - I have made a Windows Firewall exception for winVNC4 
and made sure that Fast Switching 
and Remote Desktop are off.   As far as I can tell I have the same settings for 
VNC options, Internet Options and 
Windows Firewall in both XP machines and both machines have the latest 
Microsoft updates.

Perhaps there is a bad setting on the XP workstation.

Thanks for any suggestions
