Please note: There is a misconception about ICS (Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing). This product doesn't just share the connection, it also acts a little like a firewall as it blocks all ports <1024. Since Winvnc runs on 5900. then yes it is blocked from the Internet, but the internal adapter can still accept connections as it isn't blocked. There are ways to open the ports, but it requires registry editing to accomplish this. See Microsoft's support web site for more info (search string "ports blocked ics")

The WinMe machine I'm trying to connect to is the one that's directly connected to the internet, and I was able to connect to it before when it was running Windows 98 without internet connection sharing. Looks like installing ICS on Windows Me prevents WinVNC clients from connecting... Everything else works fine. Like I said, I cannot connect with a client to that Windows Me machine (which is not behind a firewall, and acts as the ICS *server*), but on that machine I can add a WinVNC client and it works.
