In PuTTY's configuration setup a forwarding port from kenny:5901 to the laptop. Then forward a port from laptop:5500 to kenny. The first is setup as a "local" forward, and the second is a "remote" forward. Your forwarded ports should look like: L5901 kenny:5901 R5500 laptop:5500 Once this is setup fire off the VNC connection in the SSH terminal by doing "vncconnect -display :1 localhost". If that doesn't work please send the PuTTY log in a response to the list and we can help troubleshoot. -- William Hooper Americans who blow horns to break up traffic jams scoff at primitives who beat drums to drive away evil spirits. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
