Dean:
I use VNC in a manner very similar to what you
want to do. You should try out the echowall.lrp firewall
config script: I designed it specifically for people "a
bit new to this stuff", and it's pretty tiny (~11k I
think). It's got the VNC rules built in, plays nice with
PPPoE, and works with DHCP-assigned internal machines.
Also, for getting to your external interface
easily, give a thought to a dynamic DNS service, like
www.no-ip.com. Big list at: www.kvtek.com/ddnsservices.asp
Good luck!
