Message from VNC test :

Connection test succeeded.

VNC Server and your network are correctly configured to accept connections over the Internet.

However, please note that VNC Server appears to be behind a NAT router with IP address 79.118.180.65. If you are connecting from outside your LAN, then you will need to use this IP address.
Dragoss, be careful about advertising IP addresses and open ports, it is best to keep them to yourself. I need you to do a number of things to check the connection.

If you are connecting from within the LAN you will need the "LOCAL" ip address (if it has one), not the router address you provided (please delete that).

1) Find the exact IP address of the server machine. I assume from your screenshot that the VNC server is running on Windows 7. Click "start" type "cmd" and run as admin. When the black box appears type ipconfig and hit enter. Under the right network hardware your router screenshot suggests that you should see an IP address like 192.168.0.XX where XX could be anything from 0 to 255.

This is the IP address for when the N900 is on the local network so to connect you would connect to e.g

192.168.0.XX:0 on port 5900 or
192.168.0.XX:1 on port 5901 etc

when outside i.e. on the internet (not on your LAN) you would need to find your WAN IP address which I assume is the one you posted.

2) find the exact port on which the VNC server is working on. This should be in the settings somewhere.
