        No matter what you setup...VNC's RFB port (the 'control
channel', the one whose default is 5900) *must* be opened at the
firewall. If you want to use a browser to connect to the "browser 
port" (port# = RFB# - 100) then that port must be opened as well. 
Keep in mind that all the browser does is download a java app that 
then immediately connects back to the RFB port.
        To use port-80, then, set your VNC server's RFB port to be
180, then open both 80 and 180 thru the firewall. Or, if you're
feeling adventurous, do as <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> suggested:

JK> There are HTTP-via-RFB patches for both Xvnc and WinVNC at
JK> http://home.earthlink.net/~jknapka/vncpatch.html . With these
JK> patches you only need to have the RFB port open at the
JK> firewall to use the Java viewer.

        Good luck!
