I've now got both ports 5800 and 5900 forwarding (on my router) to the 
Win2k machine I'm trying to connect to.  I just read that the Java client 
doesn't work when behind a web proxy 
(http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/faq.html#q18).  That explains why I 
still can't get connected via java client, I think.

But, if I try to use the "normal" viewer, I get the error "Failed to 
connect to server".  It doesn't give me a password prompt or anything.  I 
am able to ping the IP address fine. 

Any ideas on where to go from here?

Thank you,
Nick

For Java client access you need both ports 5800 and 5900:

router:5800 -> server:5800
router:5900 -> server:5900
