In order to get VNC to work on a D-Link router first get the most updated firmware (2.10 as of 9/4/03) then you have to go into the setup (default is http://192.168.0.1 in your internet browser) then select advanced along the top, then select virtual server along the left and then choose/enter:

enabled
name:VNC
Private IP:<enter your computers private ip, which you can get from winipconfig, or ipconfig>
Protocol Type: TCP
Private Port: <the private port you will be using. in the options you select a number for "display number" (you must take off the auto checkbox) this is equal to that number plus 5900 so if you put "1" in your "display number" you would put 5901>
Public Port: <this will be the same as the private port to simplify things>
Schedule: Always


then click apply

to connect from outside of your local network (all the computers hooked to the router) you must find your external IP address for your internet connection on your router. Get on a computer that is connected to the router then go to www.whatismyip.com and it will tell you what your ip is, from here you can go to another computer that is not on the router over the internet and type that ip address into the connection dialog like this xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:<display number you set up previously> it is also nice to set a password on the server. I'm sending this because I couldn't find anything on the message boards that said how to connect through a d-Link router successfully
