I know very little about VNC, but I can read the documentation.  ;-)>

See http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html, a little more than half 
way down the page:  "WinVNC - Advanced Settings," "Advanced Options:," 
"AllowLoopback":

      By default, WinVNC servers disallow any vncviewer
      connections from the same machine.  For testing
      purposes, or, potentially, when using multiple
      instances of WinVNC on Windows Terminal Server,
      this behaviour is undesirable. Setting this
      registry entry to 1 will cause local-loopback
      connections to be allowed. Setting it to zero
      will filter out such connections. Local machine-
      specific setting.

I assume the same parameter exists (with a different interface to it) for 
.*n.x and MacOS.

I only know this 'cause I needed to set it to use PalmVNC to view my laptop 
through the cable/cradle connection.
