First I must thank you for telling us what version of VNC you are using. But we need to know more about the server os and what the natting software is to give you a correct or accurate answer. Most Natting boxes will automatically block all ports above 1024 on the external interface. Since vnc uses 5800 and 5900 (above 1024) you will need to open them. (or just 5900 for the native viewer). If this is a win2k machine, goto MS support and search for opening ports on nat or port forwarding. Or search the mailing list archive as they contain the answers to MS natting setup and ICS setup.

However, I am having one particular server that is being troublesome. The server I am trying to reach is running VNC version 3.3.3r7. It is running on a static IP with NAT. When I move the mouse cursor over the VNC logo, it will only display the internal IP address. When I try to connect with my VNC viewer to that server using the computers external, static IP address, it returns the dreaded Failed to Connect to server message. I can ping the server with the external IP address without trouble from my computer. And when my computer is running VNC server and the other computer is running VNC viewer, it can connect to my computer without a problem. I didn't see a way to reconfigure VNC to display the external IP address on the server, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions out there?
