I forget to add this to my last email...
If I type "http://<ip address>:5800" into a web browser, I do get my VNC
login screen. If I type in "http://<ip address>:5900", I get that RFB
message.
If the router wasn't setup to route the ports to the computer, then how
would it be able to display the login screen and that RFB message?

Can you telnet to port 5900, and get the RFB 003.003 response? If not,
then
the port is not available for the viewer to communicate with.
If you can, then I'm at a loss.

I've now got both ports 5800 and 5900 forwarding (on my router) to the
Win2k machine I'm trying to connect to. I just read that the Java client
doesn't work when behind a web proxy
(http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/faq.html#q18). That explains why I
still can't get connected via java client, I think.
But, if I try to use the "normal" viewer, I get the error "Failed to
connect to server". It doesn't give me a password prompt or anything. I
am able to ping the IP address fine.
Any ideas on where to go from here?
Thank you,
Nick

For Java client access you need both ports 5800 and 5900:
router:5800 -> server:5800
router:5900 -> server:5900
