Why the switch from TightVNC to RealVNC?

[kbwilliams]

I know this sounds dopey but check that the VNC server is running on your
windows pc. Check there are no firewalls blocking it. Which version of VNC
are you running on the windows pc? (Not that that should make much difference).
Have you tried to remote in based on IP address or PC name? Can you connect
with other machine that you might have on your network? Is the firewall
on you linux pc blocking vnc? Also - have you tried to connect via http.
I sometimes connect with my machines this way (example :- http://<yourmachinesname-goes-here>:5800).
Hope you get it sorted.
