That is mostly correct. 80 is not used for anything. WinVNC places its
HTTP server at port 58xx. An important note, however, is that if you use
the vncviewer.exe client rather than the Java applet, the only port that is
needed is the 59xx port. 58xx is only needed for people wishing to control
a computer without having the vncviewer.exe client on their machine.
Personally, the Java viewer is enough slower that it is worthwhile to me to
simply carry a floppy disk around with the vncviewer.exe client on it, and
run it from the floppy. But then again, people frequently comment that I
am odd...
