Hi Vishal, The port number you are looking at is the _source_ port at the viewer end, which is random so that multiple viewer connections may be made from the same computer simultaneously - this is standard practice when using TCP.
Your Network Manager is talking about the _destination_ port, which is the fixed port number on which VNC Server accepts connections. You'll need to set your VNC Server to use a port that your school lets connections out to do be able to access it from there.
