Not sure what you mean by this statement. If the error is loopback connections are disabled then you need to all loopback connections. > I thought the vnc server should > just see a request coming in on port 5800, and not know or care that the > port had been tunnelled through SSH. Yes and that is why you get the applet. From the applets point of view, though, you are connected to localhost:5801 and attempting to communicate to localhost:5901, therefore it is a loopback connection. Cool pictures explaining it here: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshwin.html . As a note, I have had issues in the past of not setting up the registry keys as the correct type with the original VNC. TightVNC does have an advantage with it's GUI to set the advanced options. Using TightVNC it is created as a "DWORD" value AllowLoopback with a value of "1" in HKLM\Software\ORL\WinVNC3. The Unix server uses a command line option of "-localhost". > > Running the service helper doesn't do anything on my machine! This was in reference to the WinVNC server that you could only see with the "EndItAll". If WinVNC is running as a service, the Service helper allows you to have a tray icon and set the options. > best wishes > Adrian Hope that clears it up. -- William Hooper Multitasking: Reading in the bathroom ! _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
