>From the FAQ:

"If your internet access is through a router which does Network Address
Translation, you may be able to configure the router to redirect
particular incoming ports to particular machines. So you could run
WinVNC with a display number of 0 on machine snoopy, and with display 1
on machine woodstock, then set your router to send port 5900 to snoopy
and 5901 to woodstock. See below for information on the other port
numbers used by VNC."
