Or you could just look at the email headers to pick up said partners
IP. It will usually be the bottom one in the list of header hops.

But VNC has another option, and that is for the OP to run a listening
viewer, and have the partner connect to said viewer. Its made for
precisely these situations where one end is behind a firewall.

Of course, if both are behind a firewall you have to do the routing
trick.

thanks for the hint, John,

Yes we are both sitting behind firewalls, but I will have to search deeply in
my head anyway to retrieve the knowledge about how to open and close a port
in the Suse Firewall. Maybe I'll better google as the web might be better
organized than my brain :-)

I think he meant routers. If you are both behind routers, you will each have to forward port 5900 to the correct internal IP address of your computer.
