VNC on port 80

[Jon Smith]

First of all thank you to everyone that helped me solve the problem of getting vnc to work with windows ME ICS.

I now have another problem.  I want to be able to access VNC running on my home computer from school.  They have a proxy running and probably only on port 80 and port 21.  I have tried changing the port used by VNC to port 80 and port 21 and when trying to connect on the web (using the java applet) I get a page with the characters "RFB 003.003" and thats it.  Does anyone know why this isn't working?  Why isn't it advisable to use ports like port 80 with vnc?  How does the proxy handle the data used on this port?  If the java applet connects on this port will the proxy think its loading up a web site a million times?!

Thanks in advance,

Jon Smith.
