Connecting through FW

[Benjamin Watkins]

At work, are you able to telnet into the server on port 5900?  It is 
possible that your browser is using a proxy server, which is why you can 
see the RFB 003.003 string.  Telnet is the only reliable test you can use 
on this to show if the Java applet can actually connect directly to the 
machine.

You can also try using the native vncviewer to perform the same test.  My 
guess is that your work has you behind a proxy, which will prevent any 
direct connections.
