Thanks again John,
I uninstalled and reinstalled realVNC, with no change. I also tried tightVNC
and had the same problem.
I cannot connect with my windows firewall turned off or with it turned on with
exceptions for winVNC and TCP on ports
5800 and 5900.
I tried a utility that showed realVNC was indeed listening on ports 5800 and
5900. And I can connect from a viewer on
that machine.
I'll look into the Ubuntu thing. But I have a feeling its a "windows thing"
Something is blocking the connection but I have
no idea what.

Well, that rules out the wireless connection. :-) My next suggestion would
be to uninstall and reinstall and triple-check any/all firewall rules on
that machine. You could also try booting a "live CD" like Ubuntu or
something and see if you can VNC to the machine then, just to rule out a
hardware issue.

I don't do Windows!
