Hi all,
I am a newbie to the world of Linux. For years I was an L-phobe and I am
surprised how quickly (my first interaction with Linux was a couple of
weeks ago) I have turned into an L-addict. Now, I HAVE to play around
with my Linux box for 4 hrs everyday. Anyway, I am facing a weird
problem which I think should be really simple to resolve - I must be
making a silly error. I have read all documentation and searched the
mailing lists but am clueless.
I am trying to use VNC with SSH. I start VNC server on a Linux box at
work using the following command: vncserver :7
Then I initiate an SSH tunnel from my windows-XP laptop to the Linux box
using the following command: ssh -L 5807:localhost:5807 servername
Then, I open an IE window on my laptop and type the following in the
URL: http://localhost:5807 <http://localhost:5807/>
It shows me the VNC authentication page. I give it the password but then
it shows an error: Network error: could not connect to server:
localhost:5907
Please help.
Thanks,
Rachan
