You will probably have good luck with the UltraVNC repeater, also. Coupled with the UltraVNC encryption DSM plugin, it's a very secure way to use one IP address as a proxy for many internal VNC servers.

Getting port-forwarding working with Windows' ICS is notoriously difficult. The best reference for it I've found is here: http://www.homenethelp.com/ics/ics-install-netxp.asp Instead of ICS, and despite your caps lock key, I would recommend you consider purchasing a low-end NAT'ing router, such as something from LinkSys or D-Link. You can find them on EBay for about $25, and they're easier to work with (and get support for) than ICS. Alternatively (and please forgive the self-promotion), you can skip port-forwarding altogether by running an echoServer on your WinXP machine. The idea is that you run the echoServer on your "living room computer", and then simply login to it using EchoVNC on both ends of the VNC connection. You can then establish VNC connections using that PC as a smart "relay", with no further firewall/router adjustments needed. When you make a VNC connection using EchoVNC, you can use the echoServer "login names" as identifiers, so you don't need to know the VNC Server's IP address either. And similar to SSH, if you have the OpenSSL toolkit installed, the data-content of the VNC connection is end-to-end encrypted with 128-bit AES. More info here: "http://www.echovnc.com";.
