Do you have NAT port forwarding configured in the Linksys router? You need to tell the router which machine on the LAN incoming traffic on port 5900 is supposed to go to.

I can get two computers to connect over a my local network, but I can't connect to the other XP box over the internet. I have port forwarding set up on both machines, and I have also set the XP firewall to accept port 5900. On the Status page for the Linksys router on the server end, it says "IP Address" and "Default Gateway." I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to be trying to connect to, but when I try to connect to IP Address the connection times out. When I try to connect to Default Gateway it says "connection refused." The "IP Address" is what allows me to remotely manage the router through the web, so I would assume that's the public IP Address of the router that I would want to connect to using VNC, which would then forward it to the machine on the other end of the router. But again, the connection times out when I try it. Any suggestions?
