Wow, that's surprisingly complicated. :) So you're on PC-1
(eg, 198.162.2.abc) on LAN-1, and you VPN into LAN-2 (70.abc.ad.ds).
You then want to start a VNC connection with another PC on LAN-1
(eg, 198.162.2.def). Correct?
If so, you can't do it using the "198.162.2.def" address
after you're VPN'd. As the name implies, when you "VPN" a PC from
one network to a remote site, it "virtually" leaves the first LAN,
and becomes a member of the remote LAN. There's an advanced feature
in some VPN clients called "split mode tunneling", but apparently
not with the client you're using. More info on that here:

What *should* work for you is this: port-forward TCP 5900
from the external side of your Linksys router, and aim it at your
"198.162.2.def" PC. Then, after it's setup, open a web-browser
to "http://www.gotomyvnc.com";, and run the scan there. If it works,
startup a VNC Viewer on your VPN'd PC, and plug in the IP address
that scan just tested with (ie, the *external* IP address of your
Linksys router). That should work. The path would look like:
VNC Viewer -> VPN interface -> Internet -> VPN Server -> remote LAN -> Internet ->
LinkSys -> VNC Server
It's kind of like making a phone call to a friend's house
and having them call you back on your own cell phone in the next
room...but it should work. :)

I appreciate the information, but, I am attempting to connect VNC with the
local LAN IP 198.162.2.abc. This is after I connected the VPN on the
external IP address 70.abc.ad.ds
