The server always listens on 5900 + the display number, no matter what client you use - so it is typically 5900. That's the only port you need open for an actual session.
When you are depending on the server giving you the Java applet, you also need to talk to it on a port 100 below what the server is listening to for client connections - that's where the 5800 comes from. Once you get the applet, 5800 is not used any longer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Cummings" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, 2002-05-24 13:53 Subject: [VNC] Ports needed for VNC > We need access to a machine with very tight security. > > What ports does VNC need in order to work via the web ( over port 5800 )? > What ports does VNC need in order to work via the VNC client application? > > > Dan Cummings > Brick Software Inc. > > > _______________________________________________ > VNC-List mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
