Dragos, Error 10060 means that the computer using the IP address to which you are attempting to connect did not respond at all. This is nothing to do with VNC, but indicates that you are using the wrong IP address, the IP address isn't reachable, you don't have port forwarding set up in your router correctly, or your port forwarding configuration is forwarding the connection attempt to a non-existent IP address on your LAN. It's also possible, if you're seeing this when testing from within the same LAN, that you have one of the many brands of broken routers that don't do port forwarding correctly when traffic is sent to their external address from within the LAN.
To reiterate the main point - this is *not* related to VNC, it's a configuration issue with your router.
