I'm still not certain of your hardware configuration.
Is everything on one machine or are Linux and 
NO on separate machines?

Are you starting a GUI before the VNC server is 
running?  The tightvncserver can run without a 
GUI present.  Once tightvncserver is running, the 
VNC client can start.  You will then have just 
one GUI provided through VNC.

Through DHCP my ISP assigns a dynamic address 
to Joule also.

A system can have more than one address.  For 
local use, /etc/hosts should give the system 
one of the private network addresses.  Ref.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network
You can then address 192.168.1.2 for example.
That is exactly what happens in my servers.

Currently my firewalls block that.  For 
troubleshooting your VNC connection, the 
points above will be more helpful.
