If you are going to use an SSH tunnel you don't need these ports. You just need the SSH port forwarded to your SSH server (192.168.0.254). > Redhat 8 desktop with ADSL connection to internet. > > What commands should I use to view Windows server on > Redhat 8. > > Presumably ssh -l ... > and then vncviewer ... > > But I'm not quite sure which IP address goes where > (btw, if I dialin to the server I need to use the > internal IP address rather than the name for my VNC > connection). You are doing the "More advanced use" section of http://www.uk.research.att.com/archive/vnc/sshvnc.html ssh -L 5901:192.168.0.1:5900 externalIP then vncviewer localhost:1 The big thing you have to remember is the tunnel is created on the SSH server, so any addresses used in the "5901:192.168.0.1:5900" part are coming from the SSH server. As an example "5901:localhost:5900" would open a tunnel to the SSH server's (it is localhost) port 5900. The other thing to keep in mind (though it may not matter in your case) is that communication from the SSH server to the VNC server in not encrypted, communication from the Viewer to the SSH server is. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
