Re: Port number?

Instead of xx.xx.xx.xx:1 try xx.xx.xx.xx:5901. Or port 5900, for that 
matter. '1' will be a display port number, often assumed as an offset 
from 5900. However, I have seen that display number and port number 
aren't always consistently and accurately effected throughout the entire 
vnc ecosystem. AFAIK, real port numbers will always work.

::80 will be an ipv6 related address, which you may or may not have 
going on that machine?

Or, you are looking at vnc's http server capability - where it's easy to 
forget to tick that setting to enable? And/or easy to forget to open up 
the firewall on that port on that machine.
