No point asking sysadmin at work, that's me, the one woman IT department Firewall shouldn't be an issue over the LAN, besides, works fine from pc.
Oh wait, in your original message you say you think you have v 0.5. But the author says 0.6 has significant changes. Try that. I use v 0.6

I now think from your error message your 770 is indeed connecting to your VNC server; it's the VNC server rejecting the 770 VNC client.

I also use RealVNC server and I have set only certain IP numbers allowed, have you checked that? Sorry for the obvious question, but you are running RealVNC Server on the laptop? Not just the client?
