It's obvious that any server must listen on an interface you want to connect
to.
If you want to connect to your machine from any other machine, then the
server has to listen on some interface other than 127.0.0.1. If it listens
only on loopback interface, then you will be able to connect only from your
own machine (which can be useful when you for example tunnel your VNC
connection through SSH, but not for "regular" connections).
As VNC server by default listens on *all* available interfaces, there's
nothing special to do to make it listen on other interfaces. You must have
done something to the server ;-) to make it listen on loopback only, so all
you have to do is undo that change.
