PORT 80 Issue

[John Pierson]

First of all the viewer is perfectly capable of accepting ports.  I do it
all the time, especially when ssh tunneling.

<server ip or address>:80  will connect on port 80.

I am a bit curious how how you managed to come up with 2 different numbers
for the ports though.

I have a webserver running on my test machine, but I set the display to
65617 (port 81) and then in my viewer I did "server:81" and it connected
fine.

Subject: PORT 80 Issue


I know this issue has been brought up many times in the past but, I am still
having problems with VNC working through Port 80.  I don't understand why it
is not easer to set the port number in VNC.  Why don't you guys just program
VNC to ask for a port number instead of a display number system that is
currently being used?  I have to add numbers and subtract numbers.  You have
a different number on the viewer then on the server.  Someone should make
this easer!  OK enough complaining!  I am using the latest version of eSVNC.
I have the Display number on the server set to 59716 which translates to 80.
And on the Viewer 65616 which translates to 80 as well.  I still can't
connect through my two firewalls.  Can someone tell me if I am doing this
right!  I feel it is VNC and not my firewalls.  I have static numbers on
both sides and no NAT or proxy.  I have used Remotely Anywhere with no
problems using port 80.  I just can't get any form of VNC to work through
80.  Thanks for the help.
