I really would suggest using PuTTY (Google for it) on Win32 since it's
much smaller, simpler, easier to configure and it's free software.
On the left bar, select tunnels, add a local forwarding port as:
Source port: 5900
Destination: localhost:5901
(or 5900+display number)
So PuTTY will open a listening socket on localhost:5900 and any
connection to that port will be forwarded to the host:port as defined in
tunnels using the resources of the server it connects to. Then run
VNCViewer and connect to localhost. That's it.
Imagine this:
Your computer -> Internet -> Linux-SSH-Server-Firewall -> Local-network
-> A-computer-behind-firewall (192.168.1.100) running VNC
You can use PuTTY to connect to a computer behind a firewall running
SSH, via VNC, if you define the tunnel to 192.168.1.100:5900 instead of
localhost:5901.
