I have a VNC server that is on a LAN with all privat IP'S.  With outgoing acces
to the Internet only.  Is there any networking GURU that can figure if this is
possible with some what simple solution.  

I know that this is technically possible I thought there was some company (WEBX
may be) that would allow you to connect to your pc at eork from any where with
Internet access even behind a firewall, but for a cost of course.  I think how
it worked is the work PC would act as a server/client.  It would first act as a
client to make the connection and then turn around as a server with the same
connection.  I know PCanywhere has a feature like this and there are hackers
that can and will do this with some trojans.

I know Netcat can work like this but can it be used in conjunction with vnc and
or ssh?


Any thoughts?

Thank you
