VNC applet through a proxy connection
My VNC server is behind a proxy (squid) and SmoothWall firewall, I create a port forwarding for 5800 on the firewall to point to my VNC server local net IP.
the client is connected via ISP dialup to open http://private.sonacom.com.au:5800
the first page of VNC is bring up to prompt for password, but after login the applet has exception java.net.UnknownHostExcept
What am I missing ? Do I need to forward any other port for this ?

BTW - That is what VNC (AT&T) recommends also...

I can add 10 ports but adding 100 port is quite a night mare, is there anyway to find out which port the server is open ?

I add from 5800 to 5809 but no luck
cant you open a range? That is what they call for...

See jmiller47's answer and open ports 5900 and 5800 , not the range 5800-5900.
On windowz that's all you need, for linux/unix pen 58xx and 59xx or configure the server to fource the port you want.

It's work now, I open 5800 and 5900
I suggest opening that whole range for that application.
