I just downloaded a copy of EchoVNC and it is not detecting my VNC Server even though when I fly over it in the systray it shows VNC Server (Service):192.168.0.2. There may be something to your idea that the VNC Server is bound to a different network. My guess though, being that this is a home PC meant for the very average user, there is only one network card.
I have had other people sniff the ports and found that 5900 is open and accepting connections. So, I downloaded Ethereal 0.10.11 and quickly found out that it's a program way over this novice's head. If I'm Port Forwarding port 5900 properly, If VNC Server is running properly, if my ZoneAlarm firewall is properly set to allow such connections (or diabled) what could be the issue? Any ideas?

It will tell you if anything is making it in. It sounds to me like "something" is blocking what you've got. On a more local note--when you run VNC in service mode you should get the VNC icon showing up on your system tray. Try flying over it and see if you get a display like "VNC Server (Service): 192.168.1.105" (that's my local address, obviously to have it NAT'ed through the router I have to enable port forwarding to my local box). I've found it's not unusual for someone to flyover their systray item and it happily reports that the VNC server isn't really listening. Also, the VNC server could possibly be bound to the wrong network connection if you have multiple network cards in your box.
