I know very little about VNC, but I can read the documentation. ;-)> See http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html, a little more than half way down the page: "WinVNC - Advanced Settings," "Advanced Options:," "AllowLoopback": By default, WinVNC servers disallow any vncviewer connections from the same machine. For testing purposes, or, potentially, when using multiple instances of WinVNC on Windows Terminal Server, this behaviour is undesirable. Setting this registry entry to 1 will cause local-loopback connections to be allowed. Setting it to zero will filter out such connections. Local machine- specific setting. I assume the same parameter exists (with a different interface to it) for .*n.x and MacOS. I only know this 'cause I needed to set it to use PalmVNC to view my laptop through the cable/cradle connection.
