Angelo,

thanks for very much for the info.  I got port
forwarding set up, but for some reason my friend still
cannot connect.  I have port 5900 forwarded to
192.168.0.2, which is the same port listed for http
traffic.  I also tried 0.1 and 0.3, but neither
worked.

I think I'm missing some very simple step.

Thanks for any more help,
John
