That makes it much clearer. One more question. Since every workstation I want to connect remotely, I know each will run VNC server. I then need to open a port for each workstation (5900, 5901, 5902...)on the router-on the remote side. Is this correct or is there a better way? Thanks!

In any case, you install the VNC server on the computer you want to connect *to* (ie. you want to access it's display remotely), and the viewer on the computer you want to connect *from*. Exactly as with *any* network service. The server is the machine you are connecting to, the client is the machine you are connecting from. Think of VNC as of "graphical mode telnet" ;-). If you want to access some machine via telnet, you need to have a telnet server on the machine you want to connect to, and a telnet client on a machine you are connecting from. So, if you want to view several workstations' displays from your home machine, each of these workstations has to have VNC server installed, and you have to run VNC viewer on your home machine.
