Andy,  I tried sending this to the email address on your note but it bounced
back.

I have already received the solution.

There were two problems.  One with the RealVNC instructions on the web site.

The ssh client should be launched with this command:
ssh -L 5901:localhost:5900    remotehost     instead of
ssh -L 5901:remotehost:5900 remotehost  (the site has "snoopy" instead of
remotehost)

The first method works the second (what is prescribed on the web site) sends
the VNC viewer to la la land.

The second problem was that my ssh client (ssh32) was not defaulting to port
22 when started via the command line and I was not tunneling.

On another note, I have been trying to figure out if I could print on the
local printer using VNC Viewer via an SSH connection.  I have tried putting an
-R 9100:localhost:9100 with the SSH connection for the reverse forward but it
does not work. Is there a way to do this?

FYI, I am using Cygwin SSH server, Real VNC server & viewer and PuTTY SSH
Client.

Thanks.
Carl
