You'll want to forward port 5900 for :0, 5901 for :1, etc. This is insecure - VNC sends passwords and everything else you type in the clear. I'd use ssh port forwarding and then from the remote machine connect to localhost:0 (or whatever display you happen to be using). You can do this with puTTY, too, if you're having to run Windows on the remote machine.
