Robert, Firstly, I'd strongly recommend using a version of VNC with in-built session security such as VNC Personal or Enterprise Edition, or running VNC through a secure tunnelling protocol between the two systems.
At a guess, I'd say its most likely that you have tried to connect to the server computer too many times, and so your viewer IP address has been "blacklisted" for a short while, in defense against potential brute-force attacks. If you upgrade the server computer to a standard VNC 4 series server then you can set it up easily to log information on connections, including reasons for them being closed.
