Erik:
It most certainly may be the firewall. You will have to talk to your phone
company about device they are using to split the DSL from the voice service.
I'm assuming you're not in the U.S. Here in the U.S. they typically provide
a "filter" which splits the voice from the data, but doesn't interfere with
the data line -- merely prevents noise from voice getting into the data and
vice versa. My guess is that they are doing something different and you will
need to talk to them. Also, as you guessed, your work may be blocking port
5900 in/out of their LAN or your ISP may be blocking it as well. There are
some ISPs here in the U.S. that block VNC.

reading versin failed: not an RFB server?
Do you wish to attempt to reconnect to "xxx".no-ip-com:5900?
"xxx" is not the adress, it is something else.
when i try connect to my server at my local lan i can typ either
"xxx".no-ip.com or "xxx".no-ip.com:5900.
but when i try connecting to my server from outside, from the internet,
it gives me the above message.
can it be the firewall? i know i have a firewall on the server, but i can
connect to it on my local lan.
can it be a firewall in my router? maybe, but i dont have acces, yet, to
configurate it because my ISP is splitting my phone- and dsl-line in the
same box.
i can remove the box and just plugg in a regular 10/100 switch directly
in the jack. but then i have no phone. will it work?
are there some configuration on the vncserver that i have missed?
or is it my work that have blocked communications on port 5900 on their
LAN?
greetings
