[SOLVED] realVNC - a n00b question

i have realVNC on my home computers. i have a wireless network with 2 other computers and a blackberry curve wirelessly connected to it. one of the computers is a mac laptop. realVNC on the pc's (xp home) and something equivalent on the mac.

in my home, from any computer, i can see any other computer. the IP's are all 192 addresses, and i can see other computers with no problems. i know my 192 is my local address and it doesnt change.

the problem is when i try to connect to my home computer from an outside machine. before i leave in the morning, i check http://www.ip-adress.com/ to get my ip address (it changes all the time, i dont know why). i already know my work ip, which never changes. i already plugged that into my home server as an allowed client. i have complete admin priveledge at work so the firewall thing doesnt affect me. i can turn it off

any way i plug my home ip into realvnc at work and it will not connect. what am i missing?
