In order to have your machine accessible from behind your router you need to open a port for it to use and you need to used the ip address that is assigned to the router.
1. Open the admin functions in your router, look and see the ip address that is assigned to the router (it will not be a 192.168.... number, these are assigned by the dhcp server that is in your router.) The ip address that is assigned to you from your isp is the one that you need to connect to the router 2. The whole purpose of a router (home version) is to act as a firewall that will protect you from connections coming into your network form the internet. You can however allow port to be open for thing that you would like to run. VNC requires port 5900 to be open in order to flow through the router. In my router there is an advanced tab that open advanced opinion like port forwarding. Simply type in the port that you want open (5900) and what protocol you want to use (both tcp and udp) and then the machine that you want to connect to ( I think you said 192.168.1.200). Then when your friend type in your IP (for the isp) he will connect to the machine that you specified.
