If your central server is linux, then you could load tight-vnc 
(http://www.tightvnc.org) on it.  If your remote client is windows, you 
would then use PuTTY to create a tunneled session that the vnc client 
could run over.

Assuming that you have the tight-vnc running on your server, the rest of 
the steps are outlined in:
