I want to post a follow-up here. Ken has gotten this working for me. He is THE MAN!
The principle is that with port forwarding, using PuTTY, you can specify where the traffic is to go when it comes out of the tunnel inside the firewall. I was originally directing the traffic to local host, so that it could reach the vncserver waiting on the server. But all we had to do was to direct the traffic be sent to the local IP address, and it worked! Thanks so much everyone, especially Ken!
