Heya. From your original description, it sounded to me as if your friend was on the school network when she accessed your school computer:
I set up TightVNC on my school computer (on the school network).
My roommate had no problems accessing my computer using her web browser as the viewer.
My understanding was that you only had a access problem when you tried to access the computer from *home*, away from the school network. This suggested to me that your school network is behind a firewall/router that is (as it should be) blocking connections to machines on the school LAN from the outside world.
Please let me know if my presumptions about where the 3 PC's in question are mistaken. If my guesses are correct, and if your school offers a VPN-service to remotely access the school LAN, you should try that, then attempt VNC connections after you're VPN'd with the LAN. Alternatively, you can try running an echoServer on your home PC, and login to it from your school PC with EchoVNC. If you can make that connection, you can then make EchoVNC-tunneled VNC connections to your school PC.
Hope that helps!

If the problem is my school computer, how come my friend was able to access the VNC server from his computer?
Anyway, I will read more about this! Thanks very much for the quick reply.
