I have been trying VNC4.1 (free version)  on 3 computers, all on the local side of my router:

1) OS/2 workstation	192.168.1.2
2) XP workstation	192.168.1.100
3) XP Laptop		192.168.1.102

Machines 1 and 2 are hard wired to the router and the laptop is connected on the local wireless.  I can ping to any 
machine from any other machine.

I have tried the following combinations

	Server	Viewer	Success
	on 1	on 2	yes
	on 3	on 2	yes
	on 3	on 1	yes
	on 2	on 1	no - failue to connect
	on 2	on 3	no - failue to connect

For both  XP machines - I have made a Windows Firewall exception for winVNC4 and made sure that Fast Switching 
and Remote Desktop are off.   As far as I can tell I have the same settings for VNC options, Internet Options and 
Windows Firewall in both XP machines and both machines have the latest Microsoft updates.

Perhaps there is a bad setting on the XP workstation.

Thanks for any suggestions
