I normally use Putty on a Windows PC to tunnel, so Im not that familiar
with the syntax for tunneling with the ssh command line, but... One of the
confusing things about tunneling is that the remote part of the tunnel
definition is always from the perspective of the SSH server, not the SSH
client. In other words, I think your command should look like:

ssh -L 5901:InternalHostnameOrIP:5900 username@GNATBOX-EXTERNAl-IP
You are so right. I had my ssh command wrong. Also explains why it would work on the internal network when I tested and why ssh without tunneling from the external also worked.

we're able to safely manage our systems form home now!
Thanks,

Benno...
