Okay, we have proven that the vncserver is running, and that tcp/ip can get through... SO that only leaves out your client. There once was a problem with new versions of real vnc connecting to older versions of Tight vnc. Something about protocols getting mixed up.... There is a misc. option on the vnc client called "Only use protocol version 3.3"... Could you try that one?
