Checked it again and I went to http://www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/nettest.cgi
It gave me these results:
The IP address requesting this web page is 213.93.229.xxx (REMOTE_ADDR)
Connecting to port 5900 ... succeeded.
Waiting for server to send version string...
Found a server supporting protocol version 3.8.

So my port is open but it still cant connect...

I forwarded port 5900 on my router to my local IP...

Anyone knows what might be the problem here?
Are you trying to connect from your home network? A lot of routers won't allow this. It should work over 3G though (unless your service provider is blocking ports).

I just made the connection work, then I blew it! I wanted fullscreen viewing, so I removed the scroll bars and the toolbar. Seemed there was no way to get the toolbar back! Now I am stuck in the fullscreen without any possibility to use key combinations or scroll the screen. I even uninstalled VNC Viewer, then reinstalled it, but it seems the settings somehow has been saved. Anyone?

The VNC viewer config can be accessed via gconftool-2. You can view the current settings by running:
Code:
gconftool-2 -a /apps/maemo/vncviewer
To disable full-screen mode again, run:
Code:
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/maemo/vncviewer/fullscreen false

I really apprieciate your help, but in X Terminal I only get the message "Value type is only relevant when setting a value". I'm not sure if the command should be in one or two lines, either way it doesn't change my config file, and the VNC Viewer is still running fullscreen next time I open it.

EDIT: Sorry, my bad! I didn't get that there was no space between "--" and "set". Now it's back running, cheers!

BTW: Shouldn't there be an easier way to exit fullscreen mode? It's really helpful to use the whole screen when you only have 800*480.

That should all be one line, and I copy & pasted it from my command-line when I ran it to test, so I know it should work. The fullscreen shown on the second line is part of the path on the previous line, so there shouldn't be a space before it.

I think the viewer is a pretty straight port of the OS2008 version, and the previous tablets had hardware fullscreen toggle buttons. The obvious solution for the N900 would be to add in the same fullscreen button used by the browser, but that could easily get in the way in VNC viewer.

Actually, I accidently found that it's possible to enable/disable fullscreen by using the volume button. Case closed
