Hi there!
Just one question. I can4t find the answer in the FAQ. Maybe I misunderstood
something.
My questions is about Q52 of the FAQ listet here:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
Q52 Can I run VNC over a port normally used for a standard service? (eg.
port 21, or port 80)
In rare circumstances, people may want to do this, perhaps because
they have a firewall which only allows connections to certain ports. This
can be done, at least for the Windows and Unix servers (see their
documentation <docs.html>), but the following points need to be borne in
mind:
* On some systems (eg. most forms of Unix), ordinary users are not
allowed to run servers on ports below 1024.
* You obviously can't run a VNC server on a port that's already being
used for other things.
* Many VNC servers use two ports: one for the VNC server, and one for
the HTTP server that provides the Java applet (see previous question). If
you plan to use the Java viewer, you may want to change both. Not all
servers will allow this at present.
* You need to tell the viewer the right display number. Normally,
display numbers come between 0 and 99. If you specify any number smaller
than 99, the viewers add 5900 to get the port number. If you specify a
larger number, the viewers take it as a port number directly. So how do you
use port numbers lower than 99? You have to specify a negative display
number! For example, to connect to a server running on port 80 on machine
'snoopy':
vncviewer snoopy:-5820
because -5820 + 5900 = 80. This may not work with all viewers, but Unix and
Windows seem to be fine.

MY QUESTION:
How can I tell the SERVER to use port 21 oder port 80 ??? I
can4t input a minus-sign on the WinVNC-Server-Properties-Page.
If I input 21 or 80 I assume ports 5921 or 5980 are used.
Please help and maybe add your answer to the FAQ.
Best Regards and all the best for the New Year !
