Hi,
Does the X protocol use specific IP ports?
We have been running X in a trusted network situation but now also need to use
X in a WAN / VPN situation. If there are special ports for X, I'll need to have
the firewall guys open them.
Thanks for your help.

the firewall guys open them.
Having X ports open to the wild exterior is not recommended. The
security isn't up to todays standards.
You'd better try ssh X proxy, with ssh -Y.
That being said, IIRC X11 ports start at 6000 (add the display number).

TCP port 6000 + display id, i.e. :0 = 6000, :10 = 6010.

Also, UDP port 177 for XDMCP, but you probably don't need that (it's
mainly for dumb X terminals).
