Tell it to allow multiple ones.
Now I only know this from reading the manual, 

winvnc  -connect <host>

You can put multiple -connect <host> statements on one command line to 
connect to multiple clients.

Equivalent of the Add new Client menu option.

Alternatively, use ConnectPriority (which may be a Registry setting, I 
forget) and set it to
default = 0 = close existing connections when connection made
              1 = allow multiple connections
              2 = refuse additional connections

Let me know if it helps, please.
