If your intentions are purely to get around NAT for VNC, listen mode in VNC might be what you're looking for. Have the remote launch the VNC server, then right-click the server in the system tray, choose "ADD new client" and have them type your IP (if you're behind a NAT would require port-forwarding and the like) then just run the Listen mode viewer on your end. This would keep you from having to set up port forwarding and static IP's for everyone who's working remotely; you'd only have to set it up for yourself to ensure a VNC route to your listening viewer. If your needs expand beyond VNC or you need the encryption, setting up a VPN is the way to go. I use OpenVPN for that purpose which requires at least Win2000, but has been an excellent performer. I run the server on an old PII-350 w/ 128MB RAM, have as many as 10 concurrent users and it's rock solid.
