James, Sounds like you've properly configured the router. The only suggestion I'd make is to think about perhaps assigning a static internal IP for the computer that you wish to vnc into. The advantage of this is that you won't get another IP ever from the router via DHCP. Keep in mind that if you do decide to do this (which I'd recommend), then you'll need to pick an IP outside of the regular range of assignable IPs from the router. For example, your router may assign IPs in the 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150 range. I'd pick 192.168.1.50 as my static IP so that there won't be any conflicts.
