Okay, until now you have not mentioned one major piece of software, namely the SSH server. Have you setup an ssh server on your home pc yet? This seams to be a point of confusion on your side, as the SSH tunnel is from the ssh-client (putty in your case) to your ssh server (???) and is transparent to vncserver/vncviewer (Ummm, I think that what is meant by tunnel 8-). In other words, getting your ssh tunnel setup and running between your ssh client/server is a separate step. As for help, I wrote a Docu on setting up the client side ssh tunnels on m$ windows machines, you can get it at: http://home.intergga.ch/Westrick/Using_SSH_tunnels_from_M$_Windows.pdf I've also got a similar docu for setting up OpenSSH (cygwin) servers, but as the docuement was written for the company I work for, I need to go over it to remove all references to clients, IP-Address, etc etc (Biggest pain is to get all the pretty pictures again, since these have company info on it! 8-( Maybe someday...
