I'll have to explain the four sites in order to help keep them straight...
 
My office: I have FIOS (VerizonDSL) and a DLink router. Ports 5800 and 5900 are 
forwarded to a W2K server running DynDNS updater and VNC server 4.x. I am also 
using my XP laptop as a client.
 
New Jersey (NJ): I have a W2K server running DynDNS updater and VNC server 4.x 
(and a security application). Uses a CableTV-Modem service.
 
Florida (FL): Duplicate of New Jersey, except uses BellsouthDSL.
 
A Friend: Near my office, but uses CableTV-Modem service. Also has Vonage. Has 
two routers in series (odd...) - first is Vonage router (192.168.15.x), then 
"regular" home wireless+router (192.168.0.x). VNC ports are set to pass from 
one router to the next, to a PC. I do not have exact router model information.

I get the "Black Screen" when I connect from NJ to FL.
 
I get the "Black Screen" when I connect from my laptop at "friend" to FL.
 
I can connect from my laptop (Office site) to FL, open the client on FL, and 
connect to NJ.
 
I can connect from my laptop (Office site) to "friend", open the client on 
"friend", and connect to NJ (and my office), but NOT to FL.
 
In short, the problem occurs only when connecting to FL, and only from "friend" 
and NJ locations.

I am concerned it could be a carrier issue, because only the sites that use 
CableTV-modems cannot connect to FL - and the DSL site does not have a problem. 
Has this been seen anywhere else?
 
I have seen posts mentioning MTU size issues. The NJ router is an older Netgear 
that does not have an MTU setting. The FL router is a newer Netgear set to 
1500. My office DLink is set to 1492. Could this be it? What do I change?
 
Is the "friend" site a red herring, because its really the odd router(s) config 
causing the problem? If so, how to explain the fact that all other in/out 
sessions work, except FL?
 
Are there any other suggestions anyone can make to help me resolve this? Other 
things to test?
 
Thanks.
