Since both these have SP2, check to make sure the Windows XP built-in
firewall is NOT enabled. SP2 sets it to "enabled" automatically. That will
block the connection. You may want to put exceptions for the VNC Viewer and
server on the relevant computers as well, just to be safe. Also, on the
server, make sure you didn't inadvertantly change the allowed connections.
