I appreciate the help lent me over the mailing list.  The question of why our network 
is set up the way it is has been asked many times, it seems, so let me explain why we 
have it set up thus...

We are a small Internet consulting firm that moved into our office space only two 
months ago.  The neighboring company is the ISP for the building complex and to get us 
on the Internet ASAP (a necessity when your work revolves around Internet access) they 
ran a LAN cable from their office to ours, and we plugged the cable into our wireless 
router (LinkSys Wireless Access Point Router, model #BEFW11S4).

One of our projects required an Internet connection not behind NAT, so to work around 
this problem, another box was brought in - a 5-Port network hub (LinkSys, model 
#NH1005).  One cable ran from the hub into the computer that could not be behind NAT, 
another from the hub into the WAN port on the back of the wireless router.  This way 
the office has wireless Internet access and the machine that cannot be behind NAT, is 
not.  It is this machine that I am unable to connect to.

As I think about the project a little more I have to ask some additional questions.  
The whole reason I am learning about VNC is because I may need to remotely access 
computers located throughout the Pacific Northwest.  I am located in Boise, ID and we 
will need access, for example, to three or four computers located about two hours 
south of here.  Will I even be able to use VNC to access these computers, or am I 
heading down a dead end?

That's it from here.  More to come as the plot thickens...
