Personally, I find RDP (Remote Desktop) FAR superior to VNC. I still run VNC as a service, to offer layers of connectivity but client paint requests are dated in comparison. (Plus it routes sound, printers, etc).
As for your connection problem, you should be able to tunnel thru your firewall and deliver a connection to your Wintel box. Last I checked, PuTTY was on Windows too. And here it is: http://www.openssh.org/windows.html But I haven't tried it recently since I use VPN. /David.

Hey all, I am using PuTTY to create a port forwarding tunnell to connect to my linux server at work and run tightVNC viewer. That works OK. But occasionally I also want to connect to a windows desktop at my work that is also behind the office firewall. What I have been doing up to now is to connect with tightVNC to the linux server, and from there run a VNCViewer to connect to the Win PC (which is also running VNCServer). This involves running a remote desktop of another remote desktop, and is quite slow. I would like to do is to forward the ports somehow from the linux server directly to WinPC without having to have the double VNC step that slows everything down. Is this possible? Any thoughts?
