You will need to know the IP address of the target computer, have
firewall enabled for VNC traffic, and the router, if any, set to pass
traffic on the VNC port of the target computer.

Since VNC traffic is not encrypted, exposing a computer to the web is
risky unless one takes some steps to safeguard the connection.
Personally, I tunnel my VNC connections through SSH and have configured
SSH to use only public key encryption. This way, only port 22 need be
open to the web and no machine can connect unless an exchange of public
keys has occurred beforehand.

Are you sure about that? As I said above, I use Ultr@VNC, and it has
support for MSRC4, which while a pain to set up, seems to be secure
enough. The Web interface also exchanges keys between computers (at
least IE puts up a warning) when you first log on to the server.
