Hi Scott, I tried port 443, and I got the same results as i did other ports, for both the client and the java browser piece. When I telnet, it connects, but I don't get any response back. What is the RFB response? fyi - I am using the same port for both the client and the java piece.
Any suggestions on what SSH server to use and/or how to set it up? I am new to SSH. Also, if I can't get VNC to connect properly using port 443, will setting up SSH actually get things working for me?
