   In other words, the traffic path looks like this:

   HOME <--> RAS NIC 1 <--> RAS NIC 2 <--> WORK

   I will assume that the RAS server is doing NAT and all the machines on
   the WORK subnet have the usual 192.* or 10.* IP range.

   This  is  the same situation as port-forwarding through a DSL or cable
   router.

   Unless something on the RAS box is doing full routing between NIC1 and
   NIC2  (very  unlikely) you'll have to bounce through the RAS server in
   the  way  you're  doing OR forward the port over. If you can configure
   things on the RAS box, it will be the same as the port-forwarding info
   in  the  FAQ, although exactly what it looks like is dependent on what
   OS  the  RAS  box  is  running.  Just  set  it  up to forward incoming
   connections  on  port NNNN of NIC1 (whatever you like) to port 5900 on
   your  laptop's  IP  or machine name (which will be in the NIC2 address
   range) and you'll be good to go.
