For M$Windows platforms, it's easy to say: The used port is: (display number + 5900). Hence use a display number in both server and viewer that gives 80 by adding 5900 to it. The hard part is you cannot just specify -5820, you have to recalculate it, using 16 or 32 bits, two-complement numbers... (2^16 - 5820) or (2^32 - 5820) > it through the java browser thru IE(what is the port number > to be given?). I That's not easy: you cannot get the java viewer and the rfb communication both at port 80. Since you want trough port 80, I guess it's trough a firewall or such. Then don't use the java viewer: You don't give crowbars or ladders to burglars so you should not use the java viewer. > would like to know the exact procedure for this.

I want to Yes, it will affect other trafic trough port 80: in normal situations, you should not use more than 1 protocol at 1 port. > do this to cirumvent firewall settings at client as well server side > (you can assume access thru 80 is always allowed at client > and server side for my case). Thanks in advance. If you're not in controll of the firewall, you can also expect some proxy server on your route. That's even harder to pass.
