Dave:
 	Heya. Everything you need to know about VNC and getting
it to work past a router is here:

 	Once you've got your firewall adjusted, you can test
it by running the scan here:

 	Please note: if you're unable to access your work PC
from the Internet, it may be that our employers want it that
way. "Breaking" their rules in any way may be counterproductive
to a long and happy career with them. :) Just FYI.

cheers,
Scott
