Thanks for the reply. The INTERNAL address 192.168.0.3 is the win2k CLIENT BEHIND my FIREWALL that is running the VNC SERVER.
It goes like this: [HOME:] VNC_viewer ==> (win2k)192.168.0.2 --> (linux RH9)a.b.c.d ====internet====> [WORK:] (linux RH9)w.x.y.z --> (win2k)192.168.0.3 ==> VNC_Server SO: I ssh to my WORK linux and request a FOWARD (-L 5903:192.168.0.3:5903) to the win2k client running the VNC server. Make better sense? So then I "VNCViewer localhost:3" on the home client to use the ssh tunnel. Am I doing it right? Need more information?
