complicated VNC connection

 hello. i'm pretty new at VNCing and the only connection i've ever made was from my iBook to
 my Powerbook through a network cable, from one computer to another.
 
 now i'm faced with this project and i have to connect through the internet from my house
 to another computer about 1500 miles away. it wouldn't be too bad to figure out except it'll
 be a University system i'm going through and apparently a very protected one.
 so, as i'm trying to gather as much info before i do this, i'm hoping for some advice.
 
 so far i know that they use a private address. i have this info which was sent to me from
 this school's net administrator:
 
 132.236.47.51 IP
 255.255.255.255 Subnet Mask
 132.236.64.5 Router/Gateway
 132.236.56.346 First DNS entry
 128.453.890.3 Second DNS entry
 
 if things look funny is because i've changed the numbers a bit but you can get the idea.
 so if this is what i need to use to be able to connect, can it be done without getting any
 tech guys to change anything in their system? in other words can i use my computers [both
 computers in each location are mine, i'll be installing my iBook over there to be controlled]
 with this settings and if so what needs to be done?
 
 i'm currently using CotVNC on my Powerbook and Share My Desktop on my iBook.
 
 
 thanks in advance.
