For everything under 100, you have to use the formula (otherwise it gets
interpreted as a display number and VNC adds 5900 to it). For ports >= 100
yoou should just be able to use the raw port number.
I wonder when AT&T will take ChromiVNC's lead and build a proper GUI into
WinVNC for setting this fundamental attribute. ChromiVNC allows the user
to set either the display number or port number, and automatically displays
changes to one caused by changes to the other. It also supports negative
numbers correctly. What's more, this feature was introduced way back in
alpha-1, which I released sometime last year...
Come to that, WinVNC's GUI leaves a lot to be desired in other areas as
well. If I was *at all* interested in Win32 programming, I'd whip up a
separate GUI which could set up the Registry entries and could control the
WinVNC application and/or service. Maybe someone else would like to do
that - I think VB should be "powerful" enough to handle this simple task.
