If you can see the webpage but you cannot see the desktop, then
typically you have not opened all ports.

For the vnc-website you need to open both the webinterface (default at
5800) and the vnc-port (default at 5900).

Now you have access to the website, you can dive into the html-source
(just a few lines of reasonably reading ascii). In there is a call to a
java application that includes the portnumber to use for the
vnc-communication.


Succes

Unfortunately this sounds like the classic VNC-ports-blocked scenario.
You'll have to check with your netadmin to see if the proxy server is
passing through traffic on the required ports (5800/5900). As an
alternative, you could try configuring port forwarding on your home
connection so that it's accessible on an open port (SMTP/POP/HTTP/FTP), or
you could use a web-based solution like LogMeIn.
