That's the problem... you either need to do DOUBLE-colon 5920 or just :20
(SINGLE-Colon)
Best to do the DOUBLE-colon and the port number if you're using something
other than the default, in my personal opinion. Give that a shot and see if
it works.

This is what I type in to VNC Viewer
ip address:5920
At the other end both User Mode and Service Mode configuration windows are
set for 5920 and http 5820.
Previously, the ME PC at the other end was always off, User Mode and Service
Mode configuration windows on the XP PC were on their default settings 5900
and http 5800, and I was typing this in to VNC Viewer
ip address:5900
The result has always been Error 10061, or 10065. The router at the remote
end is wide open to all incoming connections, Windows Firewall is off,
winvnc4.exe is listed as an exception in Windows Firewall anyway, and there
is no other firewall or security software installed. As far as I can tell
Real VNC server is running, listening, and refusing all connections. Since
there is no setting in the Real VNC server configuration which I can alter
to change this, I concluded that Real VNC is not compatible with Windows XP
Home Edition.
