WinVNC on port 80 - the solution

[Rahn Steve]

Well, after setting the HKLM AutoPortSelect to 0,  and adding PortNumber= ,
I opened Calculator, switched to Scientific View, entered 80 in Decimal, and
clicked Hex. This yielded 50, which when entered as the DWord Value for
PortNumber= becomes 
0x000050(80). 
What I need help with is how to find the home PC (which is running VNC as a
service, on Port 80) through my browser from the office. Both the Office LAN
and the (cable modem) ISP I connect to at home are, naturally using
firewalls.
Is this one of those things that's so obvious that everybody but me sees it?
If this is covered somewhere in a FAQ or something, just point me in the
right direction.
TIA for all help.
Steve Rahn

Lake!  Very good show.  I was trying to work this out earlier.  I think the
FAQ needs to be updated.  It's rather unclear.
