Hi Wez, We using ssh to tunnel VNC traffic. On the VNC server, I do:
vncserver -localhost On the VNC viewer, I do the ssh tunneling via cygwin: ssh -L 5902:localhost:5901 <vnc server ip> Then I launch the VNC viewer and enter at the server prompt: <vnc server hostname>:1 I then get connection error.
