One of the possible reasons of that error message is that the ip
address is not used. But you said that you got a ping reply, well ......
Sometimes ISP would change customer's IP address. Are you really sure of
your own IP address?
How are you so sure it's not because of your company's firewall?
You've tried another VNC server (via Internet, of course) and it's working
for you?
If you do a
telnet <ip_address> 5900
do you get "RFB 003.008" or something similar?
