I do this all the time with no problems.  Let's get this straight...  Say
you have 3 machines: One running WinVNC server (A), one running WinVNC
viewer (B), one running X VNC viewer (C).  You try to connect from C to A
and it fails, but you can successfully connect B to A?  Just to make sure
this isn't a default password vs. current user password issue, connect
from B to A, this close the viewer.  Now try to connect from C to A.  As
silly as this sounds, make sure you don't have Caps Lock on, also.
