Another possibility you could consider is FreeNX

I've found Xming to be useful. The application Xlaunch will allow access to the desktop, faster than VNC and simpler, as you don't need to perform the extra steps.....

I've got very good experience in using NX from
http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=1. It works fine
with Debian and Ubuntu.

I'm not sure about this, but you could try pinging
192.168.2.3@HER_WAN_IP to see if you are getting through the router.
If not, the router may be blocking your requests and you may need to
setup port forwarding on the router. Not sure what port vnc uses, but
you could probably figure that one out.

Just a suggestion, hope it helps.

5900 I think is the "standard".

More than likely the wireless router has a firewall on it and you need
to configure it to allow that port through. The ways to do that vary
with the manufacturer of the router. Basically, though, you tell it that
a given port (5900?) on the WAN is to be mapped to a given IP address
and Port on the computer. I would take a look at the web site of the
people that make your wireless router for more detailed instructions.

You're right. 5900 is what is in the configuration as default.

I turned off the firewall briefly to see if that would do, but didn't get a
response from her computer. Maybe I wasn't using the correct IP. I'll try
again later today and when I figure it out, I'll post the results.

Just turn the firewall of will not help. 99% of all home routers will use
Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT)
i.e. you got one external/public ip-address on the router and an
internal ip-address
on your computer. So if you want to access your computer from internet you
need to translate the external ip and port in the router to your
computers ip and
port. It should be something like "port forward" in the router that
you need to configure.
