I'm trying to connect vnc via web browser but can't get it to work. I've opened port 5800 and it works on my lan (192.168.1.2:5800)on browser but not from an outside pc xx.xxx.xx.xx:5800. I've opened 5800 port on my router. Any suggestions?

Since your LAN runs on a private range of addresses, you would need to map ports 5800 and 5900 of your PC on the LAN to the public IP of your Internet access router.
If your PC, say, was 192.168.1.2 and the public IP of the router was 200.1.1.2, than you would logically map traffic destined for 5800/5900 from 200.1.1.2 to 192.168.1.2.
