so accept conections should be 5900 which is the default, and I put 5900 on the
source port on putty, but in sessions category the port number should be say 22
so It goes through the firewall at work through port 22, and comunicates with
the vnc server on it's default 5900, am I right? I think I can get it working
now. I just got confused when he said to put 5904 when his router accept on
port 4. But when I tried the "accept connections" on port 22, I tired just to
make sure, and connected with a black screen. It's weird because then it closed
and said "Connection reset by peer". Should ssh tunneling fix or prevent this
since I wasn't using ssh when I tried this. I'm really sorry for bothering you
with this.

Accept connections should be set to "5900" and also you need to check the box
to accept connections on the "localhost." I'm not running vnc on Windows at
this time, so I don't recall what the setting is called, exactly.
One other thing I should mention: If you get caught doing this, your employer
may consider it a violation of company policy, since they are specifically
trying to limit access to the outside world. Just because your friend at work
does it, does not mean that it's "OK."
