Joe:
	Heya. One minor problem when trying to use AuthHosts for that
VNC Viewer address: 10.113.10.141 belongs to a "private" class of
Internet addresses that are not routable on the public Internet. That
is, whoever has that IP address is behind a router that's doing NAT'ing
of some sort.
	So when your router sees the VNC connection, the actual IP
address the connection is coming from will be completely different.
Fortunately...that IP address should be pretty stable. Have them open
a web-browser to, say, "http://www.whats-my-ip.com" and tell you what
IP address they really have. Then put that address in your AuthHosts
setting.

good luck,
Scott
