Okay, Micheal... Let's start at the beginging...
First off, you say you can connecct to home with vnc. +---------+ +----------+ | Office | 5900 | Home | | +--------------->+ | | v.x.y.z | | a.b.c.d | +---------+ +----------+ Okay, now we want to setup an ssh tunnel. on office specify: ssh -L 5999:127.0.0.1:5900 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | | | | | | | | | +--> your user name on a.b.c.d | | | | +----------> the port that you want to connect to | | | +----------------> The host that vncserver is on | | +------------------------> Tunnel Mouth port (on Office) | +----------------------------> Tunnel direction (local to remote) +--------------------------------> Start ssh command Once you've entered the password, you get a "Unix (not DOS) Box" running on Home. Now, On Office you can connect to the tunnel "Mouth" with vncviewer 127.0.0.1:5999. (Don't try this in the ssh "Unix Box" since it is on Home and not on Office). and ssh will encrypt and "tunnel" the vnc connection to Home, where it will be unencrypted, and then sent to 127.0.0.1:5900, which is where your vnc server is running! Did that help? Jerry P.S. You need an SSH server running on Home for this to work. . On Thu, 2003-11-27 at 23:49, michael byrd wrote: > I can't get SSH to work at all.

What do I put in the "user > name" spot? I know that VNC's port number in this case is 5900, right?
