Well bruno, If he has Vncserver, on his work machine , Just run 
Vncserver from the cmd, and it'll tell u what desktop number its using 
e.g.  Server:1

On windows tightvnc, connect to XX.XX.XX.XX:1 the latter desktop number 
is critical.

BTW: The client does not dictate the the port number used> Client 
connection must just coincide with whatever the server is using.
