    Yes, that's exactly how I read the docs. In fact, there is no PortNumber
    entry in the registry. Of course, I can make one. Here's the text in the
    docs:

            AutoPortSelect
            Causes WinVNC to select the first available display number
    automatically.
            Corresponds to the 'Auto' checkbox in the Properties dialog. Local
    or
            Global per-user setting

            PortNumber
            specifies the port number to be used for VNC. You will need to
    disable
            AutoPortSelect to use this. Local or Global per-user setting

    Both of these entries indicate control of DISPLAY, not IP port. The fact
    that both entries say "Local or Global per-user setting" supports this,
    because the IP port number couldn't be a "per-user" setting, it would have
    to be a global setting for the entire system. There is no specific mention
    of where to change the IP port, nor does a search of the registry reveal
    one. Does someone else have a clue?

    You can try the setting for AutoPortSelect (set to false) and PortNumber
    (set to the port you want). I say try, because the docs aren't very clear
    on this, and this may be just to select which Display Number you want to
    use.

    I'm running WinVNC 3.3.3r7 on NT4 Server and I want to change the IP port
    that WinVNC uses. I read in the FAQ Item #, "Check the documentation". I go
    to the docs, and it isn't discussed! I've searched the archives for some
    time, but no specific instructions, just references to them. OK, either I
    am a fool and can't find it, or it's missing. Can someone point me to the
    exact location please? thanks in advance -=Victor=-
