Unable to connect to host (10061)

[Andrey Vul]

Error means that the remote port on the machine is closed. Try
port-forwarding your router and configuring your firewall. I assume you
have a NAT router (private ip is 192.168.*.*).
What router are you using, what firewall (for iptables, google "iptables
port forwarding" (without quotes), others I need to know what firewall
you have). If you don't use ftpd, set vnc to port 21 (ftp)
