This is going to be a bit long, so please bear with me... I'm having a problem getting VNC to work via a remote forwarded SSH tunnel from my computer at work to a computer at home, and I'm hoping someone can give me some direction. All machines involved are running the latest VNC server and viewer. Here are the tests I've tried so far.
1) Direct connect, Win2K server to Win2K server This worked fine. 2) Connect through a remote forwarded SSH tunnel, all machines on the same LAN. This also works. There is a linux box (tux) running at work. After setting its GatewayPorts to yes on that machine, and setting the VNC server machine to allow connections from localhost, I ran the following from the VNC server machine... ssh tux -R 5900:localhost:5900 -g -v >From the VNC client machine, I connect to tux:0, and I connect to the VNC server. 3) Connect through a remote forwarded SSH tunnel, ssh server machine running on a linux box behind my firewall. Almost the same setup as above, but my ssh command from the VNC server looks like this: ssh homeIP -p 23 -R 5900:localhost:5900 -g -v I do -p 23 because my firewall port forwards connections to port 23 to port 22 on my home ssh server. When I connect to the SSHServer:0 with the VNC client on my XP box on my home network, I get the popup to enter my password, and then the connection dies. If I log the session, I get this: Connected to 192.168.1.200 port 5900 RFB server supports protocol version 3.3 Connected to RFB server, using protocol version 3.3 VNC authentication succeeded Desktop name "dev_clcase01" rdr::Exception: rdr::EndOfStream It would seem that my tunnel is set up properly, as I can connect long enough to enter my password. I can also telnet to port 5900 on the SSHServer machine, and a connection is established. I would assume that things on the server side are configured properly, as I can connect through a tunnel when all machines involved are on the same LAN. So... what gives? Anyone? Thanks much if you made it this far :) Clark __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
