You are of course using the port of 580# where number is the VNC server you
want to connect too.. I do remember reading that where if you started the
first VNC server it would be i.p:1 if connecting through a firewall you will
need to allow ports 5800-5999 . then your connection number would look like
i.p:5801or subsituting the 1 for the correct vnc server.
I dont know that im completely right on this, I too am a newbie
