I have set up a few systems with 10.3 as Samba Servers.

I have AFAIK activated VNC Server and opened the Firewall ports.

I have also set the Router to redirect Ports 5800 and 5900.

Still I can't get a connection,
What am I missing, and what is the preferred client for the Built in
VNC...? Windows XP Client tried TightVNC and RealVNC..

I've had a bit of an issue with this as well. Seems really difficult under
openSUSE.

I finally got a connection tonight using both openSUSE systems...

until I'd clicked "allow connection" on the remote side.

This is odd, since I often connect to one or more openSUSE computers at work
from Vista.

(That's actually me using VMWare to run XP, which is connecting to my Vista
machine at work via RDP and then connecting to my openSUSE desktop via VNC.)
