If you use Linux on the viewer side, try using TightVNC vncviewer and
its -via option (available only in the Unix version). Do it like this:

  vncviewer -via GATEWAY 192.168.1.100

Here GATEWAY should be replaced by the real host name or IP address of
the gateway machine, and the 192.168.1.100 address should be replaced
by real IP address or host name of the Windows machine. The latter
address should be written as known to the gateway (it may be not known
to the viewer machine).

This command assumes that you have SSH client in /usr/bin/ssh on the
viewer side, and you have SSH server installed on the gateway. Also,
SSH tunneling assumes that you have valid SSH-enabled login on the
gateway.

Yes, there is a sort of VNC redirector:

But, I think, in your situation it's better to use SSH port forwarding
(as when using the -via option), or to setup port redirection on the
Linux gateway using ipchains/iptables/NAT (I'm not sure how people do
it these days).
