Hey, I hope this helps you but what I found as a viable solution is to use ssh which uses port 22. Most companies allow ssh connection through firewalls. Make a ssh connection and set it up to port forward say localhost to remote machine:5900. You will have to make sure the server is running on the remoter machine. Start your viewer and point it to localhost and the ssh session will forward the request through the ssh tunnel to the remote machine on port 5900. You will then be able to see the remote machines desktop etc... Hope this helps...
