Brendan:

 	Heya. Getting VNC to work across a proxy is a bit tricky:
usually, it is required that you first establish a "proxy-aware tunnel"
of some sort. That is, you would first run some software on the VNC
Viewer PC that established a connection with a server on the "other"
side of your proxy -- this can be arbitrarily simple or complex,
depending on the sophisitcation of your proxy server. Once that
connection is establish, though, you can then "tunnel" a VNC
session via that connection. Utilities like SSH, ProxyTunnel, or
EchoVNC are the ones I have in mind.

 	I hope that helps!
