Are u trying to imply that it will establish the connection with port 5400
and then hand it over to 5500? I can understand this with the "regular"
connection that is initiated from the viewer where it will send a sync to
5800 and then establish a connection with 5900. But how do u explain it with
the "listener" method where it starts with 5500 according to my ( netstat -n
readings )?

I believe 5400 is the java web browser port for the viewer, just like
5800 works for the java web browser port on the "normal" VNC server.
