Colin:
Heya. If your win2000 machine is allowing connections to
"localhost:5902" then it must be setup to "AllowLoopback" (one
of the registry options for VNC). If that option is set, it's
possible that LoopbackOnly is also set, which would explain why
your other LAN machines cannot connect.
Have a look in the registry, see what's there. If you
find LoopbackOnly enabled, try deleting it and then things should
fly.
cheers,
Scott
