This looks reasonable.
> HKLM\Software\ORL\VNC\3.3.3\AuthHosts (REG_SZ) =
"-:?192.168.2:+192.168.1:"
This is an InstallShield key. You shouldn't put anything under it.
> HKCU\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\AuthHosts (REG_SZ) = "-:?192.168.2:+192.168.1:"
This will have no effect. AuthHosts is a local-machine setting, not
global-user.

> HKLM\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\DebugMode (REG_DWORD) = 0x02 (2)
What debug output do you get? The output should indicate the contents of
the AuthHosts key. You should make WinVNC output to a console window, so
you can see what is going on immediately.

Strange. Have you restarted the service?
