Thanks for your help, but it doesn't seem to work. Lets see if I'm  
following what your suggesting.

This works for the 1 IP :
The router is set to forward port 5900 to (internal IP)  
192.168.xxx.xx1 the external IP is 68.36.xxx.xxx and the settings on  
the VNC client, Chicken of the VNC, are: the Host field=  
68.36.xxx.xxx, the Display/Port field = 5900.

This doesn't work for the second IP:
The router is set to forward port 5901 to (internal IP)  
192.168.xxx.xx2 the external IP is 68.36.xxx.xxx and the settings on  
the VNC client, Chicken of the VNC, are: the Host field=  
68.36.xxx.xxx, the Display/Port field = 5901.
