Actually, what is happening is by design and quite correct.

When you connect your computer by VPN (tunneling through the Internet to the NT 
server), your computer takes on a another IP which is a LAN IP of the network you're 
connecting to.  The RRAS server will normally assign your computer a LAN address.

You end up with two LAN adapters.  One physical and one logical.  The Physical one is 
a LAN card or a modem.  The VPN connection on your computer will ba a logical network 
adapter.

Once the VPN connection is established, access the VNC4 server using the server's LAN 
IP address and not the public Internet IP address.
