help setting up androidVNC

so i installed ultra VNC server on my computer and i think i have it set up correctly, but to be honest im not sure. I also am using androidVNC on my Eris, and i think i have that set up correctly as well, but again, im not sure.

my computer is connected through a router, so i went to whatsmyip.org or whatever it is and got the ip that is assigned to my router, and then am forwarding ports 5900-5905 to the ip that my router has assigned my computer.

when i put all this into my phone... it just hangs at the "establishing handshake" anyone have this problem or know what im doing wrong?

any help is greatly appreciated

UPDATE:
when i use port 5900 on my androidVNC... it says VNC connection failed... when i use anything else (5901,5902,5903...) it hangs when trying to establish handshake.. anyone have any ideas?
