As Trond says, VNC is pretty insecure - it's really not worth risking doing it directly. VNC uses ports 5801 upwards (depending on how many virtual consoles you're running) - so if you want to give it a try, open port 5801 on your firewall or doing some port forwarding if you need to. It's a pretty bad idea, though. A better way would be to run specific applications through SSH (if your client machine is a linux box with an X server) or by opening a VPN tunnel into the network on which the VNC server sits.
