What do the ZoneAlarm logs show?  Is it dropping the packets?

Just to take ZoneAlarm out of the equation:

- Turn on the WinXP Firewall and turn on its logging.
- disable ZA and then switch it off completely.  Look in WinXP's Task Manager 
to make sure that no ZA processes are left running.
- Try to connect to your VNC server and see what you get. If it doesn't 
connect check the WinXP Firewall logs.  If it does connect you know that it 
was ZoneAlarm's settings that stopped it.
