Dan, some remarks from an ignoramus.  Folks, jump in if I am wrong.

That enables the web browser at your (viewer) end to get the 
VNC-via-browser applet from the VNC server at the remote end.  Port 5900 
must also be forwarded to actually view the remote end with your browser 
running the applet.  If you have the VNC viewer installed, you don't need 
to use a browser; the viewer connects to the remote end port 5900.  So, in 
either case, port 5900 must be accessible.

If you can only enable a single port, it must be 5900; you must use the VNC 
viewer at your end--a browser won't work.  If you can enable a single 
*range* of ports, a sloppy workaround would be to enable the block 
5800--5900 (inclusive).  Then you could use either a browser or the VNC 
viewer from your end.

I don't *think* I have told you any lies.  ;-)>
