How can I remote control via VNC, when the server setup is NATed and the ip address of the server is internal 192.168.0.1? I have no control of the router which takes care of the NAT and act as a gateway(192.168.0.2) to the internet. I have the external ip address of the router.

You need to use port forwarding on your nat box to point any VNC requests (port 5109, usually) to the system you want to connect to. you would put the external ip address of the nat box into VNC on the remote client, and it would forward the request to the proper system running vnc server. you need access to the nat box (in your case, the router), so it sounds like you may not be able to do it.

without the ability to do port forwarding on the nat box, you won't be able to use any remote administration tools on a system on the private subnet (192.168.x.x). but, symantec's PCAnywhere is one, but it costs $$. there is also tightVNC which is based on vnc. i'm sure there are others, but i have mainly used VNC and PCAnywhere. there are security implications with running these sorts of software... i'm sure you are aware of them....
