VNC doesn't work through Linksys - my setup is correct i think

[msledge@bellsouth.net]

here's what i got:

C:\>telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 5800
Connecting To xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 5800...Could not open connection to the host, on port 5800: Connect failed

it doesn't say timed out, but connect failed.  is this the same thing?  did this get out of my corporate network?
