Glad to hear it is a goer. Your next step is if you have multiple pcs past the router and you will most likely need to set the vnc server up with a different port like 5901 5902 5903 etc... and port forward them to the local ip address of the destination vnc server within your network. I am sure now you have one done you will be able to do any others. I have learnt a little out of the exercise myself so it benefits us all.
