Nate:
Heya. You're *so* close. :) The browser-based VNC
viewer is delivered to a requesting user via port 5800, which
you have correctly setup and forwarded in your firewall.
However...just like a regular VNC viewer...it *still* uses
the default port 5900 for data exchange.
So, do what you did for port 5800 for port 5900 as
well and you'll be flying.
cheers,
Scott
