Since William has given some good explanation I will write my config on Linksys BEFVP41 (it is similar to BEFSR41 which I have and used at another location)
All I need to connect to the VNCserver is done in just a couple of steps. Static IP given to the VNC server below 100 as the dhcp starts from 100 and onwards. Portforwarding 5900~5900 to 192.168.1.11 Portforwarding 5800~5800 to 192.168.1.11 (to get the VNCserver through a browser) MTU is enabled and set at 1492 (to solve the grey screen, initial loading pages hangup) This is it. Hope this helps.
