Off hand, I'd say probably not. You're 100% positive you have VNC Server up and running on your machine at home? If so, I'd say you're probably blocked by a firewall at work. Next test would be to try telnetting to your external IP from your home machine and see what you get. If it works, then you've got your answer. If it doesn't work, then you probably do NOT have VNC Server running on your machine and you've got to try these tests again.
