Either your router at computer A or its software firewall is blocking incoming
connections from the VNC server.  Set it up so that it accepts the VNC server
IP address and port 5500 - I believe that the default port for the listening
VNC Viewer is 5500?  Someone else advise on this because I am not sure.

Just to retain sanity I would keep the ftp and VNC services separate in terms
of ports and firewall settings, whether they use different protocols or not.
