I would guess that your ISP is blocking more than ICMP.  Have you tried
www.gotomyvnc.com to see if the VNC port is blocked?

Thanks for the tip. I just came from www.gotomyvnc.com and found out my IP "is accepting connections on Display 0 (TCP port 5900)".

Does anyone have some other ideas?

Thanks,
Evan
