Take a step back and work from first principles... can you telnet to port 80
on the server from your laptop?
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.
