Did you restart xend on dom0? You might have to explicitly set  
"vnclisten=<ip of dom0>" in the guest configuration file in vfb = 
section for paravirtualized guests.

AFAIK, No. The default is to use the next unused port after 5900 for the 
guest when it starts up. You can specify vncdisplay=x so that port 5900 
+ x would be statically assigned to the guest. Make sure that when you 
set static ports like this, you configure it for all guests. Never leave 
some guests configured statically and some to use unused port. It may 
conflict.
