Lorenzo, In the event you haven't already done this... Make sure you're able to go from your client to your server, assuming that both are behind the firewall... Better yet, make sure you can use VNC to go from your client to the server without the router. In other words, can you set up a direct connection from your client PC to your server with VNC without the router?
Also provide additional information as to the physical setup/applications used. Are these systems Windows/Linux, are you using SSH tunneling, etc... Give us a rough overview of how your setup is configured. Using VNC/Linksys/SSH works... I'm doing it now. My server is sitting behind a AT&T cable moden, with a Linksys router. I use Putty to set up a SSH tunnel. I can remotely access my linux boxes. The issue that you have to do is make sure the router forwards the connection to the correct port. In order to do this you need to make sure that you can actually get to the server without the router. This also lets you look at the IP/port that VNC is really using when you make the connection. After you have verified that you have the actual IP/port, you can configure the router to forward the external incoming IP/port to the internal IP/port. It gets tricky if you use tunneling as you still have to setup the SSH app to do a redirect/forward.... but it's doable... Let us know what you find out...

Can someone help? I have a linksys router BEFW11S4 with the latest firmware installed. I use Comacst cable internet access. I have the following configurations on the router: Filters: Enable MTU 1492 Disabel Block WAN Request Forwarding: 5900 to 6000 TCP [IP of LAN side server] Enable 5800 to 5800 TCP ["] Enable Nothing enabled under UPnP nor Port Triggering When testing this out from a computer WITHIN and OUTSIDE my LAN using the external IP of router (68.35.xxx.xxx), it's Default Getway IP(68.35.xxx.x), and it's LAN IP address (from within the LAN of course) WITH and WITHOUT the ":5900" port designation (i.e., 68.35.###.###:5900). It waits for a bit like it's going to connect then I get an error "Connection to Server Failed" (So close yet so far). I've tried DHCP enabled and disabled. I'm at a loss. I want to play too! I'd appreciate some guidance.
