Connection Timing Out

[geoff@3lanes.freeserve.co.uk]

I'm currently running a small home network behind an ADSL router with WiFi (WEP 
enabled) serving two laptops, both with XPHome.

Having used VNC successfully before I downloaded the latest free version and installed 
on both laptops.

I could not get a successful connection, I checked the various configuration settings and 
all appeared OK. I was a little unsure of the 'access' settings trying various local 
addresses but settling for 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 but still no luck.

Strangely I installed TightVNC and it worked first time.

I would prefer to use RealVNC as the 'access' settings appear to offer a wee bit extra 
security.

Having said that it is only intended to be used on a local network or via a VPN 
connection.

I have disabled 'fast user switching' on XP as I read somewhere this is a common 
problem.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
