Hmmm... Yeah, I thought of that, but I was hopeful of something fun liike a vncviewer connection to my gateway that then popped up, instead of an expected desktop, a window that listed available VNC servers and/or allowed me to put in the address of one in the home network. % and/or have name resolution working you can point to any machine you want % (or multiple machines). Yeah. Now as I understand it I'd have to assign different ports on the gateway for each server in the house -- something like 51900:localhost:5900 win1 # "display" 00 on win1 52904:localhost:5902 linux2 # display :4 on linux2 57900:localhost:5900 win7 # "display 00 on win7 or so -- to avoid port confusion, right? % % Check out the "More Advanced Use" on % http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html. Saw that; thanks. The challenge is that I'm on some foreign computer where I can drop vncviewer in with little trouble but going to the effort of setting up tunneling each time is a stinker. I already have putty and its registry settings on my web page so that I can click and run; I suppose implementing an ssh client and tunneling rules the same way can't be that much tougher. Not that I like it a lot, though *stomp* *whine* :-) % -- % William Hooper Thanks & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * society and not sufficient moral courage.
