The timing of this (last week) sounds like the server applied a security
update "automatically" that broke something.
More questions than answers:
+ Do you have Automatic Updates set to install automatically (never a good
idea with a server)?
+ If you re-run CEICW, enable the firewall, select the services (including
the port for VNC) and finish CEICW, does this fix the problem?
+ Can I ask why you are using VNC to remotely control the server instead of
RWW or a straight RDP connection?
+ Are you actually remotely controlling the server or are you trying to
access a workstation behind the server?
+ What updates were applied last week (in Add/Remove Programs)?

A strange thing happened. I have SBS Server 2003 SP2. We connect to the
internet through a Linksys router. There are two NICs - one for the local
network and one for internet access.
I regularly travel and connect to the server through VNC.
This set-up has worked for years.
Then, all of a sudden, last week (while traveling), I can VNC in - but the
server cannot browse the internet or send/receive email through Exchange
Server.
Upon my return, I rebooted the router, modem (DSL), the server and nothing
changed. Locally, I cannot ping out or connect to anything outside. I
cannot brouwse the internet and no mail is moving through Exchange Server.
From the outside, I can still VNC in (as well as enter through the ip
address in a browser) - and (of course) there is a valid IP connection -
through the router.
What gives? No changes have been made in the router settings or the
server.
