That is because the syntax is:

ssh -l <login> -L <listen-port>:<target-machine>:<target-port> <forwarding-machine>

> So then I tried:

Now, since that works, you only have to insert -L 5901:WorkNT.mycompany.com:5900

ssh -l persicom -L 5901:WorkNT.mycompany.com:5900 WorkSolaris.mycompany.com

Then you point your vncviewer to localhost:5901

That tells ssh on your home machine to contact ssh on WorkSolaris and ask it to forward
your VNC session to WorkNT:5900.

This is because you don't have ssh listening on port 22 on WorkNT.

Cheers,
