Hello smart penguin. Yes, that is possible. All you need is Putty on computer A. (sorry, i dont know how to do this in other ssh clients such as securecrt.)
All you need to do is setup a tunnel from A to B. In putty, put in B's hostname or IP address as you would for a normal connection. Then on the Category panel under Connection > SSH > Tunnels, assign a local port on A on the Source port field and computer C's ip and and port on the Destination field. Like: Source port: 6900 Detination: 192.168.1.10:5900 Local (radio button): selected where: 6900 is the local port you wish to use for this tunnel 192.168.1.10 is your computer C's ip address 5900 is the port on computer C where VNC listens for display 0 Then press the Open button on putty. This will establish an ssh session to B and you will be asked to login. Now fire up your VNC client on A and but instead of connecting to C, connect to A on port 6900. Thats it. The tunnel will exist until you terminate your ssh session with B. For more details, consult putty's website. I suppose this is okay as a short term solution if you need to connect to an internal machine on a different network. This messess up logging on the remote internal machine because as far as computer C is concerned, it's computer B whos making the connection. For a long term solution, set up a net-to-net vpn instead. HTH.
