I have a similar setup and use a static IP for my VNC server. Your DHCP server most likely has a range of IP addresses used for its clients (ie 192.168.0.100 - 150). If you set the IP address on your VNC server to something outside the range of your DHCP server but still on the same subnet (ie 192.168.0.20), you will have success. You will also have the added benefit of knowing that the IP address will not change to some other address within the DHCP server's range. That would force you to change your port forwarding, etc.
