Before you try any more of the fancy stuff you should get through the
basics, i.e., connect to your VNC server from within your lan using a VNC
viewer.
Try removing all the port forwarding, etc., and just try to connect using
your internal ip of 192.168.1.3. If you cannot, then verify that the vnc
viewer is running on your Win98 box. Do you have the icon in your system
tray? When you mouse over it what ip address is displayed? When you start
the client on one of your laptops and try to connect to your_internal_ip:0
does it ask you for the password?
My guess is that your router is not forwarding port 80 so its internal
server is responding and that is why you are getting the login screen. If
you forward that port to a machine on your internal lan then that login
screen will disappear (I think). If you then enable remote management you
will be able to manage the router by connecting to its external ip at port
8080. I too have the same router but have not tried it. I have a Cayman
Router at work which sort of does the same thing but it allows you to
explicitly start or stop the router's internal http server and to assign
the port number.
