Error 10061: Connection refused

A candidate for the FAQs?  My modem/router (Alcatel SpeedTouch 'Home'
turned into a '510v3') is the same using the stock firmware.

I spent about 5 hours trying to troubleshoot this problem before I found
an older message on this list saying that some routers don't allow
traffic that originates from inside the router to return. I was getting
this error when trying to connect to a computer on my network from
another computer on the network which were both using the same router to
connect to the internet. I fixed it by connecting from outside the
router. (I used a dial-up connection to connect) to the server behind
the router. In my case I could connect over the LAN, my router ports
were forwarded, and the www.gotomyvnc.com scan returned that my
connection was fine, but any attempt to connect over the internet
returned the 10061 error. Hope this helps someone.
