I see now. Your SSH command doesn't work because you don't have an SSH server on your Windows machine. That isn't the issue, though. What software are you using for SSH on the Windows machine? To set up the SSH tunnel you need to do it in the SSH client, not after you log into the server. > I have tried to connect simply from the windows desktop using > the icons, > but that isn't working either.

Pardon me if I'm mistaken, but it sounds like you have the WinVNC server running and you are trying to "Add New Client". Instead you want to use the VNC viewer to connect to the Linux machine. It should be under Programs->RealVNC->Run VNC viewer. In this box put in your unixserver:1 (or change :1 to be what ever display you are trying to connect to). Of course all this assumes you have run "vncserver" on the Linux box to actually start the server. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
