	Heya. In addition to Lyle's spot-on comment, here
are two other thoughts for you:

> Server win nt --  192.xxx.xxx.xx1
> Subnet ----- 192.xxx.xxx.254

	Typically a netmask looks like "255.255.255.0" for
the 192.168.x.x address range you're using.

> Dsl router open ports setup:
> 
> Configured router to open ports 5800....... and 5900..... 

	In addition to opening these ports on the external
side, you need to port-forward (or port-map as it's sometimes
called) 5800 and 5900 to the machine you want to VNC into.
Since you're sharing one real IP address to a collection of
machines (called NAT or IP-Masquerading in some circles),
you'll only be able to VNC into *one* of your machines, not
all of them. So, port-forward the two ports on the outside of
the Cayman box to that one machine.
	Hope this helps!

cheers,
Scott
