You don't.  Port 5800 is HTTP communication to serve the java client, port
5900 is for RFB communication to the VNC server.  You can't have both
going to the same port.

You could try to use port 80 for the RFB and use the VNC viewer instead of
the java viewer, but depending on how the firewall is set up that may not
work.

Best case it to talk to the firewall administrator and get the ports you
need opened.
