Okay, the best way to prove that the tcp/ip setup is working is to execute the following command telnet ip-address 5900 to do this test, use putty to setup your tunnel, then do the telnet command from a dos box. If you get a line with RFB, then the problem is not tunneling, nor port numbers... But if you donot get the RFB line then the problem is at the tcp/ip level. > I'm at a loss here... anyone got any ideas? I'm willing to try "Real" VNC if > that might work better.
