I'm able to open display. Now getting connection timed out (10060) when
I go out my firewall to the gateways' external IP.

I tried these additional chains in my iptables but no improvement.

iptables -A FORWARD -s 0/0 -p tcp --dport 5900:5900 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A FORWARD -s 0/0 -p tcp --sport 5900:5900 -j ACCEPT

iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --destination-port 5901 -j
ACCEPT    

I think the gateway may be doing the blocking rather than MY firewall.
So VNC Viewer works using the gateways internal IP, but not its
external. They may have more strict rules for the external IP.

What commands can I use to tshoot this?

So it sounds like you problem is with cygwin, not VNC.  Perhaps you will
have better luck on a cygwin list?

Have you started the cygwin X server?
