I am having the same problem. My setup is as both you, Doyal & Ken describe. I am reluctant to open the ports for the same reasons you mention. I take it that you solved the issue without opening ports on your router. Can you post how you did that?
BTW, VNC worked perfectly prior to the installation of some of the Microsoft automatic updates. (I have Windows XP Home with SP2 installed. All updates have been applied.)
