I'm certainly no expert at this, but just got mine working this morning and
can tell you what I did. I have a wireless router and LAN connected to my
cable modem. To connect across the Internet to a PC on my wireless LAN, I
connect to the WAN IP address of the wireless router, and have port 5900
enabled. In my Dlink wireless router, I have defined a virtual server
(maybe same as port forwarding?) which relates the LAN IP address of the
target machine to the port number. I can define both a public and private
port number, but have them both defined as 5900. I used www.gotomyvnc.com
to test with while playing with the parameters. Hope this is useful to you.

Subject: Port forwarding
I'm trying to conceptualize why I can't get my VNC setup to work. If I
understand correctly the VNC viewer needs the IP of my machine not my DSL
modem.
I believe I have the correct ports open. Then I need to port forward my
modem to
my machines IP? Is this correct? Or do I have it backwards?
