It has been asked before and answered too. Have you checked the archives? I recal recently answering a similar question. Some points: Watch out for used ports: they cannot be used twice, that will cause troubles. vnc uses ports in 5900, 5800 and (Unix/X11) 6000 range: 5900 (add display number for real port) is for the rfb protocol (the vnc communication, you want this) 5800 (add display number for real port) is to serve the java applet, you don't need it if you use vncviewer binary. 6000 (add display number for real port) is for Unix/X11 communication, only local communication, you don't want this trough the firewall. > > Note that I do not want from the outside view the computer inside the > firewall, I just want to use the viewer from the inside to do > outgoing > connections on port 80, just like any websurf or FTP that > already is allowed > to do through the firewall/proxy. Scan the archives for details. First setup a local situation using port 21 (most likely not to be used). Don't bother the route trough the firewall (inbound or outbound), the restrictions are most times the same, if not, outbound is lighter/easyer to pass.
