Problem connecting to UltraVNC server with port < 5800 ??

I setup my UltraVNC server so that it listens at port 81 for the vncviewer client.
(By the way: port 80 for HTTP works fine).

When I tried to enter 192.168.0.10:81 in my vncviewer I get a connection failed/timeout.
This is because the vncviewer transforms the port from 81 to 5981.

How can I avoid this adding of 5900 to my port number?
