So XP can't view any other systems through the web browser? Do you have a Java VM on the XP machine? You need one, if not. > c.All other WEB-browser viewing XP--->XP, XP--->98, 98--->XP (98--->98 > not tested) over internet outside my router.

If you mean you want to view your LAN machines from the other side of your router, then yes, you will need to configure port forwarding on the router. Note that port :5800 is only the port for the web interface to load the java application. The app then tries to establish the VNC protocol connection to the same machine over port :5900. So you need to forward both for the web-based viewer, or else just 5900 if you are using native VNCviewer. Make sure you are aware of any security considerations if you do this.
