On Windows 2000 you can set the display number to 4294961476 and this will cause it to use port 80. Now to connect use server:4294961476.
I have tested this and it works. How did I get this. Use regedit to modify h_key_localMachine/software/orl/winvnc3/default/DWORD:PortNumber=80 Steve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:vnc-list-admin@;realvnc.com] On Behalf Of Jae P. Lupo Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 5:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: PORT 80 Issue I was just following this website: http://home.earthlink.net/~jknapka/vncpatch.html He States, "The WinVNC viewer seems to take display numbers outside of the expected range (which is? I'm guessing 0-99) to be port numbers, so to connect in this manner you can just use "hostname:2001". Or you can use 61637+5900 = 67537: "hostname:67537". Same result. If you want to use port 80, you need 65536-5900+80 = 59716 in the WinVNC "Display Number" field, and connect to 65536+80 = "hostname:65616". Note that in this case you *must* use the large port number in the VNC viewer connect dialog, since "hostname:80" would cause the viewer to connect to port 5980." Either he is wrong or I don't know what I am doing??? I will check the telnet and see if I can get in on the local LAN and let you guys know! Thanks.

As I understand it port = display + 5900 So display = port - 5900 for ports >= 5900 display = port - 5900 + 65536 for ports between 1 and 5899 If you want port 80, display = 80 - 5900 + 65536 = 59716, not 65616 Make sure you have the display right on the server by telneting to port 80 FROM THE SERVER TO THE SERVER. If you get the RFB response, you're good. Then try VNC'ing FROM THE SERVER TO THE SERVER with the client to make sure you have the display right on the client. All this can be done without involving the firewall. Once you have the numbers right, then try from the client. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
