John, No, you don't - the syntax you are specifying to your VNC Viewer (host::port:display) is not valid. The two valid syntaxes are:
Host:port_or_display (display if 0-99, port otherwise) and Host::port (always port) i.e. you specify *either* a VNC display number *or* a TCP port number. VNC display numbers 0-99 are just a short-hand for TCP port numbers 5900 to 5999.
