Will do. I'll work on SSH first, get that running, and work on VNC through it.
Btw though, I had gone in and set each VNC port (5500, 5800 and 5900)
on the firewalls in/out on both machines, so that wasn't an issue.
And as for VNC actively working (I'm assuming the server); it works
locally, on the local network, but not from outside the local network.
Therein lies the problem, which I thought portforward would solve, but
hasn't yet. I'll check into your recommends and report back.
Thank you

If you are going to be requiring SSH, you only need the SSH port.

If you want VNC only available via SSH, this test won't help you. Get SSH
working then use SSH to forward the ports you need for VNC.
