You don't need to tunnel, just let your client connect to the server port (usually the dafault ports start at tcp port 5900). > When I lived in the Fedora world, I could just install vncserver and > start it up and it connected me to my active desktop and away I went. > If anyone can suggest a method or solution, I would be MOST > appreciative. Sorry, I can't be of much help here, since I almost exclusively use kde's krfb/krdc combination. Anyway, I remember having problems in the past when connecting to the krfb desktop using a windows client like realvnc or ultravnc: the connection was immediatly shut down, expecially if the remote desktop had a resolution > 1024x768. I'd try using one of the available vnc servers in portage (like for example x11vnc or tightvnc) and see how it goes. HTH -- [email protected] mailing list
