    If the Java client loads from port 80, then it will try to connect to
    port 180 (where WinVNC is listening). If you can't open port 180 on
    firewall, you'll have to use a port-redirection scheme. Goto
    =
    and read all the stuff in the "Both WinVNC and mini-web server on Port
    80?" thread...
