David,
Here's what you do:
1) Forward VNC ports that hit your router to your internal LAN.
2) Find IP address of your router.
3) Connect using VNC to your router.
Does your router support port forwarding? For instance you might be able to
tell it to forward all requests to port 5900 to port 5900 on 192.168.0.3.
Then if you wanted to manage one of your other computers, you'd have to
forward port 5901 to port 5900 on 192.168.0.4, etc. If it does not, then it
gets more complicated. If your router will allow a PC to be "outside the
firewall" and act as a server, then you can use port mapping standalone
software on your Win2k box to do the same thing. Not the ideal situation if
you can avoid it.
Then part two, you MUST know the ip address of your router, which is
probably DHCP. So from work you would connect to x.x.x.x port 5900 (display
0) to control machine1, port 5901 (display 1) to control machine2, etc.
The hard part with a home lan can be knowing what your DHCP ip address is.
I recommend using one of the dynamic DNS services. There are many free and
low$ services out there. The way it works is you run a small client on one
of your PC's and tell it to check the IP address every so often and poke
that to the dynamic DNS server where you'll have a DNS name, like
rothman.dyndns.net
Here's a good link to get you started.

Subject: Re: vnc in w2000 behind router and zonealarm
im not sure that i follow u.
locally, vnc works fine for me. all the machines are set to a local
zone and we can all view each other - no problem.
my question is how do i do this over the net? if my basement machine is
192.168.0.3 (local ip address), how do i get to it. attaching to my
cable modem's ip doesn't move me over to a specific machine in the
lan...
