Aside from the legalities, it sounds an awful lot like incoming connections on port 5900 are being blocked. WinXP includes some "firewall" software which is active by default - try turning it off. (Sorry, I can't be more specific as to HOW to turn it off - I've used XP all of once and don't presently have a need for it.)

I was using VNC fine with Windows 98 Second Edition. I recently re-formatted my hard drive and did a clean install of Windows XP Professional. I have VNC installed and running as a service. When I try to connect to my computer, I get timeout errors. When I go to my computer via web browser to access VNC via the Java interface, I can get to the login screen and enter my password, but when I click ok there is a pause and then I get a timeout error. Any idea what's wrong?
