I would say the tunnel is working. In putty event log 2004-02-04 22:38:44 Local port 5900 forwarding to localhost:5900 2004-02-04 22:38:44 Local port 5901 forwarding to localhost:5901 Then on the Putty machine command prompt telnet localhost 5900 returns "RFB" telnet localhost 5901 returns "connection to host lost" and the putty event log says 2004-02-04 22:43:16 Opening forwarded connection to localhost:5901 2004-02-04 22:43:16 Forwarded connection refused by server It seems to be ssh problem afterall.
