I would suggest something a little easier to get the VNC viewer to connect to like: 5902:win1:5900 # "display" 00 on win1 5903:linux2:5902 # display :4 on linux2 5904:win7:5900 # "display 00 on win7 So you have VNC "display" numbers. Then in the vncviewer you connect to the SSH tunnels by using localhost:display like: localhost:2 # win1 localhost:3 # linux2 localhost:4 # win7 This way you are not opening any extra ports on your router at all. There is a very good tutorial on this put together by a member of the TightVNC list at http://www.benjamin.weiss.name/putty-tunnel.html , but it is hosted on his desktop and appears to be unavailable at the moment. -- William Hooper Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
