Hello Mike. yes, VNC will work through a firewall, you got to open port 5900 for outgoing connections to get the password dialogue and initial session handshake to work ... Also, my tip is to always reduce the color depth to 8 bit to gain speed, because VNC is still under development and compression of their data stream is not yet implemented.
