Yes, any sort of "client" application (like Kazaa,
Internet Explorer or even a VNC Viewer) works from behind a
firewall without any firewall adjustments necessary.
It gets difficult when you're trying to run a *server*
(such as a WinVNC server, a web-server, an ftp-server, etc)
behind a firewall. Then you need to make adjustments to your
firewall. Have a look here where I documented this:
http://faq.gotomyvnc.com/fom-serve/cache/63.html
And, of course, when I say "firewall", I include this
to mean "firewall/router" such as the Edimax you have.
cheers,
Scott
