Try port 23... that's the SSH port. If you're not using it, there's a chance
it'll work.

   Hi all.
   Need a bit of help with realVNC and port changing.  Like many people I
   need  to  change  the  default  port  number from 5900 to get around a
   firewall.
   However  although  I  can get VNC fine when testing it from a computer
   at   home,  (which  doesn't  have  a  firewall so using 5900) it works
   absolutely  fine,  whenever i change the port setting to anything else
   it won't connect and gives me a 10060 connection timed out error.

   I  also get the same error if I try changing the port number from 5900
   even  between 2  computers on my LAN at home, although it will connect
   fine on 5900.
   Any  reason  for  this - do i need to change any other settings? All i
   have  done  is  change  the setting in the server, do i need to change
   anythiing on the viewer side?

   Please  note,  I  have  done  all  this  testing  on systems without a
   firewall  so  far,  so getting around the firewall isn't currently the
   problem.

   I  have  so  far tried changing to ports 20, 21, 8080 and 19 and a few
   random ones.
   Thanks for any help
   Jon
