Sounds like a firewall issue to me.
I suggest you check to see that the appropriate ports are open:

Vncviewer to Vncserver -- TCP port 5900 + <display number>.

#ACTION SOURCE DESTINATION PROTO DEST PORT(S)
ACCEPT <source> <destination> tcp 5901 #Display Number 1
ACCEPT <source> <destination> tcp 5902 #Display Number 2
...

Vncserver to Vncviewer in listen mode -- TCP port 5500.

#ACTION SOURCE DESTINATION PROTO DEST PORT(S)
ACCEPT <source> <destination> tcp 5500

Trojan.

also make sure that the vnc server is started (not just installed). I tend to agree that it sounds like a firewall issue though.
