Vnc connects to all network adaptor that you have, including serial or
usb modems. If cant connect externally:

1- you have to open the 5900 port in the firewall/s.

2- you have to NAT (port forward) the port from modem/router to your PC



Perhaps with changes your internal IP have changed then you have to
remake the nat to the new IP or changes the ip of PC, at propertys in
network adapter.
