I have that problem as well, but its because my dsl-router doesnt allow connections to the port that vnc uses (port 5900),
it works great whenever I have my laptop at work or so on, but never at home!
If anyone knows how to create a local connection with vnc-server and vnc viewer via bluetooth, please let me know! cuz today vnc viewer only wants to connect to external IP!

Take a look at the documentation here:

http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html

You may need to add the "AllowLoopback" registry entry. Your P800 has the same IP address as your PC when it is connected through mRouter, which may be why VNC is refusing the connection. By default VNC does not allow you to connect a viewer to a server, when both have the same IP address.

You have to have the bluetooth connection on your P800 on, and connected to your computer.

Just remember, if you are connecting your pc to internet trough a router then you have to remember to use your internal IP. Such as 10.x.x.x or 192.x.x.x..
Otherwise it will try to connect outside your router.

You could set your router to do a port forward to allow it to work from the outside. This is a standard feature of most routers. If you do that I would suggest that you choose a higher port and then forward that port to 5900 on the lan. Also if you have more then one pc you cna choose different external ports and forward them to different ports internally to hit each of your different machines.

If you really want to do it right you can setup a reverse secure proxy. http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA027031/orenosp/ This one is free and works like a champ. I use it to access my TIVO remotely.
