This sounds like a classic case of AT&T blocking traffic on the ports required for VNC (5800,5900). I'd suggest you open a terminal window and try telnetting into the port manually, but you can't do that on non-jailbroken iPhones :) Can you tether a laptop to the iPhone and use its data connection to test? Alternatively, contacting AT&T customer support and enquiring as to whether the ports are blocked or not may yield an answer, although they may know less than us! I would expect all non-standard ports to be blocked by default on most data packages unless you pay more for a premium data package.
