Can I use a high numbered port like 40000 to use remote connection?

any port you like, can be changed in the config menu, then in the viewer just type in <ip>:<port number>. then make sure you have configured your router to forward the port to you pc

windows settings done
firewall done
router done

its got me scratching my head

could it be my firewall?

Am on a shared connection and the admin have closed a lot of ports, shouldnt make a difference tho if am the viewer right? its an outgoing connection

Could it be because the target pc is running basic win7?????????

are you running the latest version of ultravnc?
test the port is forwarded corrected http://www.canyouseeme.org/
outgoing connections should be ok, tho could have blocked it

if all else fails give logmein a go, saves all the hassle of port forwarding and firewall configuration
