You should see something like this... gdh:~# telnet 1.2.3.4 80 Trying 1.2.3.4... Connected to myhost.mydomain.com Escape character is '^]'. RFB 003.003 If you don't see that 'RFB' message then something else is wrong.. if you do see it, then can I ask how you're telling the VNC client to use port 80? You can't simply tell it to connect to "1.2.3.4:80" because this will try to connect to port 5980... Cheers, Gavin.
