[StBernard] [AnswerSquad] VNC and ports

I have 2 Ubuntu Dapper machines at home. One is going to a college dorm with
may daughter in a couple weeks. I can get her desktop on my computer through
VNC here at home. It's using port 5900.

Is there a way to know whether I'll be able to reach her machine through
this port when she's at college? I have no idea how they manage their
network - nor do I care to ask! On a quick look, I could not find how to get
her VNC server to listen to a different port - or maybe this is done through
ssh?

Thanks,

Ed
