Heres a little bit to get you started let me know if you need more help.
1. To start the viewer in listen mode type the following on your box.
vncviewer -listen XXXX (where XXXX is a port number if you
leave it blank I believe it will default to 5500)
2. Forward your router port according to the port number from step 1
3. on your friends computer (OYFC): install vnc, have him/her run
vncpasswd and set the password
4. OYFC: run "vncserver"
5. OYFC: run "vncconfig -connect YYYYYY:XXXX " where YYYYY is your
hostname or Public IP and XXXX is the port you are listening on.
Note: this will give you a new Xsession still you will not be able to
see what your friend sees. To do that you would need to setup
remoting the ) display. See Here for specifics of that.
http://www.realvnc.com/v4/x0.html then this would be running all the
time instead of step 3 you would just need step 4.
OK?
Good Luck,
Angelo
