As others have pointed out, this should be vncviewer localhost:54 Have you checked out VNC's page about using SSH? http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html Also a member of the list has put together a page about using PuTTY: http://www.benjamin.weiss.name/putty-tunnel.html What SSH software are you using? Have you looked at the debug logs for the SSH client or server? -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
