OK, makes a bit more sense now, since VNC can't know that you are doing
the port forwarding with the Linksys device.  Unfortunitely the WinVNC
files used to serve the viewer are part of the binary and can't be changed
independently.

It sounds like it will work at first, but I think you will find out that
the source for the Java page will have port 180, not 23.  This is for the
same reason as above, VNC can't know what the Linksys is doing to the
ports.

I think you might want to take a look at TightVNC for your situation. 
They have added a feature that allows the HTTP and RFB ports to be set
seperately, so you can set the ports correctly on the server machine and
just have the Linksys pass them directly (80 -> 80, 23 -> 23).
