If you are sure a firewall isn't running on the server, and you can telnet to that port from the server but nowhere else then I would suggest checking that the VNC server is indeed listening on the EXTERNAL interface. It sounds like it is listening on the local loopback only.

I don't think the wireless has anything to do with it.
The reason is I tried telnetting into port 5905 - connection refused
(but it works from the VNC server - telnetting to localhost 5905).
I also have another server running VNC on 5905. Both the other
machines can telnet into 5905 on this machine, but it cannot in turn
telnet into 5905 on the VNC server.
So it seems to be a firewall problem on the VNC server. Yet iptables
is definitely not running on it. What else might the problem be?
