You isolate hers by setting the router to forward the VNC port on its 
Internet side to the VNC port on 10.0.0.1

Do you (or your Mum) have control of the router? If it's a shared 
router (as in a housing community), someone else may have got the VNC 
port redirected to their machine on the local NATed subnet. In that 
case you'll have to get another unused port to be forwarded to your 
Mum's VNC port, and use that from your Chicken. If you don't have 
control, you'll have to work it out with whoever does control it.
