This sounds like:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/228370
Quote:
"I'm running Ubuntu Hardy. When vino-server is configured to listen only
on local interfaces, it doesn't accept connections from IPv4 addresses.
This means that "vncviewer localhost" will end up with connection refused."
You can try to deselect the "Allow only local connections" option in
Vino and see if it helps.

Xandros,
