If your computer is behind NAT, or most firewalls, they are going to block VNC and RDP's ports. You are going to have to use something that originates a connection from your PC to an outside service, that hands off the connection from your mobile device to be able to get through a university's firewall.

such as hopster or do you know any programs that will allow me to do this too allow me to get around the firewall and open this port.. thanks for the assistance by the way

I haven't used the VNC app yet, so i dont' know for sure, but you should be able to changed the ports used by VNC on the host, I always change them to port 22 and then encrypt the connection And if you have access to the firewall, port forwarding goes a long way when connecting from the outside world...

I don't know of anything that will do it, though it is a common issue, so I'm sure there are ways.

Do you have any computers directly connected to the Internet and/or that you have access to the firewall? You could setup a VPN server, probably need a Pro version of a windows client to do that, though.
