Changing the port number in code

[Erik Soderquist]

someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think vnc will assume a 2 digit
is display number (offset from 5900) and more than two digit is port
number. so while it *should* be myhost.mydomain.com::3559,
myhost.mydomain.com:3559 will still connect to port 3559 rather than
using 3559 as an offset from 5900. the :: would then be an absolute
requirement only if you are connecting to a port <100, best practice
otherwise.

Wez,

I found an error there.  The graphic does not show two colons as the
caption
indicates.  It should be myhost.mydomain.com::3559 shouldn't it?

Regards,


Arthur

Andy / Tony,

Sorry, missed the URL out...

Explains the various ways of specifying the host & port to use.
