conneting to VNC from behind proxy

I installed ultravnc at home, and it's been working fine everywhere except for where I am now.  This puzzled me until I remembered that here we're behind a proxy, so I'm guessing that's preventing me from connecting to my home computer from here.  when I type http://myipaddress:5800, the applet loads, prompts for password, and then displays a "network error: could not connect to server: myipaddress:5900".  I was wondering if there was a way to make this work.  If you can help, thanks, it's greatly appreciated.

Possibly is a firewall issue blocking the port.
Found this link:
 http://www.calwell.ca/articles/a0028.php
Details how to change the port configuration so that it can use port 80.  According to UltraVNC site, they referred any configuration changes to the RealVNC site which is the instructions in the URL above.  The registry item may have a different name in conjunction with UltraVNC, but should be found in the same location.
Good luck,
Pj.
