5800/5900 question

[Needham, Michael]

My understanding of this is the 5800/5900 ports are what need to be opened
in the firewall.  If you are initating a session in VNC using the web, first
you are using port 80 (the standard www port) then the VNC server applet
loads and you are using 58xx where xx is the video number.  ie) if your
server is 10.10.10.10:0 your url would be http://10.10.10.10:5800 and
10.10.10.10:1 would be http://10.10.10.10:5801

5900 is the port the server itself uses... 

Correct me if I am wrong people :-)

Thanks,

Subject: 5800/5900 question


I have a question about firewall filtering and ports 5800/5900.

For a simple configuration (Win98 server, Win98 client) will there
be traffic on both 5800 and 5900?

Does even this simple configuration involve "downloading pages
and applets"?

Thanks,

Neal Nelson
