[ece429] VNC remote connection problem

[Marcin Jastrzebski]

That helps. It works now.

Router users should be aware that they need to forward port 6000 to the 
computer they have XWin installed on. Also, when specifying the path for the 
setenv command, use your router's WAN side IP address and not your local 
PC's IP address.
