Carla, What pings are you talking about? From the WAN to your PC? or from the PC to the WAN? If people on the WAN are trying to ping you , what IP address are they using - since in all probability you have an IP address that is allocated to you by your ISP - and (even with DSL) this changes quite often.
What are you trying to do? Use VNC from office to home? If yes, then look at these people - they provide an excellent way to get at systems that connect to the net via allocated (hence dynamic) IP addresses: http://www.no-ip.com - works for me!
