So I have managed to work out how to VNC from my iBook to my iMac over my wireless network, but what I would love to do is to be able to access my iMac which is at home, from my iBook which would be, for example, at school. Can someone please gimme an idea on how to do that?
Cheers

Is your iMac behind some sort of residential broadband connection? If so you'll probably need to use one of the dynamic DNS services.
Is your iMac behind some sort of router/swtich/access point? If so you'll need to configure it to pass incoming packets on the VNC port(s) to your iMac.

I've done this exact thing. You will need to have either A: a static IP address for your home BB connection. Or, B: a dynamic DNS service like DynDNS. I've used these guys and they work
Then after that you will have to port forward within your router/modem to the ip of the machine you want to connect to. I think the ports are 5800 and 5900. But read the help files with VNC to be for sure.
After that you will use the address the DynDNS gives you to connect outside of you home network to your host machine.
I hope this makes sense. It sure did in my head.
