That's a good question (about whether the viewer-side port#
can be changed). I do NOT know.
Maybe only the SERVER-side port# can be changed. What that could
be for would be to allow your firewall to accept incoming port#5900
and then re-MAP that to a different port # when it hands the connection
over to the server. (Tho WHY someone might want to do that with VND is a
bit beyond me. But, in my short-time work in a firewall-devel
group, people DO seem to want to do stuff like that.)
But, I'm totally talking just theory here in ALL of my postings, since
I do NOT know much of the specifics of the VNC product. I'm only another
user monitoring this list for a while trying to solve a few of
my OWN questions/issues, etc.
So, take what I say with a grain of salt.
Cheers...

They're both ends set for default (5900)... that's why I thought I'd
eliminated that as the problem.
Can you change the port numbers on the viewer end? Where? (I'm new with this
product)

I can NOT speak for VNC in particular, but in GENERAL,
anytime a client is talking to a server and you see
'connection refused', it means that the client [viewer in
case of VNC] is trying to contact the server on a PORT
number different that the SERVER is listening on.
(Therefore, the OS itself, knowing that there is NOT any
server [of any kind] running on the requested incoming PORT
number, send back a 'connection refused'.)
In the particulars of VNC, the DEFAULT port that both the
client and server expect to communicate on is port number
5900. So, my guess is that your VNC server and your VNC
client are NOT agreeing on the port-number to use. In
otherwords someone or something is causing a port-number
mis-match.
Hope this helps...someone will correct me if I'm in error...

Subject: Real VNC/DynDns - connection refused 10061
Well, I've now gotten to the point the connection no longer times out, it
get a "connection refused 10061" error now. This is the same connection that
worked for about a month, then started giving me time-outs. I'm using a
broad-band connection, coming out of the cable modem, into a LinkSys router,
the internal network is class C 192.168.0.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 -
internally, I can make a connection, no problem. Externally, for a while it
quit working entirely (time-outs), then suddenly now it's refusing the
connection.
Nothing visible has changed - the VNC properly sees the "local" IP and the
DynDns updater properly identifies the external (real) IP of the cable
modem.
Any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot? It's all pretty much set for
defaults, it doesn't seem to be the VNC - as I said it works WITHIN the
network - I'm scratching my head on this one. It SHOULD be working (well, it
WAS working - then just suddenly quit - the IP hasn't changed, either
internally or externally).
