Just to make sure, what happens if you use the hostname in both commands? For PuTTY try; L5901 middleman:5901 (The machine might equate middleman to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) which would be different to the firewall than 172.15.20.1.) > Now I collected the SSH traffic in a Putty log file from these two cases, > and the ONLY difference in the log files (apart from the actual vncviewer > traffic which isn't present in the one that never asked for a password) [snip] So the PuTTY log doesn't even show PuTTY opening the port when you try running vncviewer? -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
