Heya. The problem is not so much that you're running the VNC Viewer from behind a router, but that your target VNC Server (i.e., the PC at school) is behind a router.
You can find most everything you need to know about accessing a VNC Server that's behind a router here:

Hope that helps!

Hi, I'm a newbie at this stuff, so please forgive me if this problem is obvious. I've searched through the past threads and didn't find much pertinent information.
I set up TightVNC on my school computer (on the school network). My roommate had no problems accessing my computer using her web browser as the viewer.
However, I wasn't able to access the server from my home computer--either by using http://myip:5800 or by using the TightVNC Viewer. Also, I tried to ping and to telnet to my school computer's IP and was unsucessful. In each of these cases, it said that the connection had timed out. Incidentally or not, I tried using http://www.canyouseeme.org/ to check ports 5800 and 5900 and it also gave the message "connection timed out".
I don't think that it was problems with the server machine because I asked a friend of mine (who isn't on the school server) to try to access it using his web browser, and he was successful.
I hope you can shed some light on this problem and perhaps give me some tips as to what to do.
Thanks, CC
