OK.  This is a name resolution issue (not really a VNC issue).

To make my life easier:
A - on the hub
B - one machine behind NAT
C - other machine behind NAT

I assume you don't have a DNS server set up?  Your two machines B and C
resolve the names via Netbios, but since your NAT device won't let Netbios
in from machine A, you don't get it's name to IP mapping.  You have a
couple of options:

a) As another poster mentioned, try putting machine A behind the NAT, but
in the DMZ.  Depending on your requirements, this might satistfy the "not
behind NAT" requirement, but it might not.

b) Set up a DNS server.  The secret here would be that all three machines
would need to be able to see it and you would need either fixed IPs or
DynamicDNS.

c) Put the machine A into the HOSTS file of the two machines behind the
NAT.  This is only a good solution if machine A has a fixed IP.

This is a classic port forwarding problem.  All of the above about name
resolution still applies, but you also have to take port forwarding into
account.
