I'm about to leave the office here, but could you post the output of
sudo ifconfig wlan0
? (I'm ...assuming that the wireless interface is wlan0...)

Sorry Sasler; didn't mean to imply anything. We've had a lot of relatively nontechnical users show up lately so I've been trying to explain everything as 'least common denominator' as possible.
I did a bit of searching around and it appears that the Maemo-Extras repository has a telnet client.
Additionally, this telnet client from the garage _might_ work.
Of course it's possible that there's a problem in the version of vncviewer you're using. Was it in the default repositories? I know there are several people who are apparently using vnc from the 900, but I don't know where it came from. Anyone with an n900 and working vnc care to speak up?
As a temporary alternative, I believe there's an rdesktop client available as well since you're working with Windows machines.
Oh, here's a link to a vncviewer that's supposed to work.

Just for the sake of completion, what version of realvnc are you using? And what are your authentication/encoding settings at?

I cannot find the Telnet anywhere and the link you provided had only the .deb files which I can only save but not open. Any idea how to install .deb files? And is it safe?

If you can wait a few days, my n900 apparently shipped today and I should have it by the end of next week; I'm more than happy to test it out on mine first. VNC is going to be one of the first applications I install, and I'll eventually need telnet anyway. I'm happy to keep trying to troubleshoot with you, but without something (telnet) to try that port from the tablet I'm sort of stuck; it sounds as though you have everything in order over there.

NOTE: Most users should avoid the extras-testing and extras-devel app repositories.
I'm not really a Maemo/smartphone expert, but I can usually find my way around a *nix system. If I somehow manage to help you out, thanks are appreciated.
