I connected! Logged into SSH gateway:
$ ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] Binded ports: $ ssh -f -N -C -T -l rvanovermeiren -L5902:localhost:5901 10.3.1.194 Then vncviewer: $ vncviewer [-shared] localhost:2 How do I unbind the ports? Does the binding persist until I do? Now I have to try connecting remotely using Cygwin openssh on Windoz XP. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Van Overmeiren Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 12:46 PM To: VNC-List@realvnc.com Subject: RE: main: unable to connect to host: Connection timed out (110) PS, when I tested telnet port 5901 from the SSH gateway to the workstation, it also timed out. I can ping and SSH though.

I haven't setup any firewalls. How would I check this? I've seen this in the logs, maybe there's an x session authorization issue?

Yes > None of your examples use port forwarding, only a remote X tunnel from SSH. I can invoke VNCauth on other systems from the SSH gateway, and I was told that the tunneling was all I needed. The hardware is different, and they may be running an older Fedora, so I guess the systems are too different to compare. I've seen had an example of a connection command with ports for forwarding but can't find it. What command would work for my situation? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Hooper Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 11:10 AM To: vnc-list@realvnc.com Subject: RE: main: unable to connect to host: Connection timed out (110) Please send replies to the VNC list.

I can get a textual or graphic desktop) This tells you nothing of the status of any firewalls on 10.3.1.194, though. > I connect to the SSH gateway, and invoke viewer on an associates IP: > > > $ ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] > $ vncviewer 10.3.1.78:1 (invokes the VNCauth box OK) > > > I try to connect with vncviewer to my IP: > > > $ vncviewer 10.3.1.194:1 (connection times out) I assume this is after you have used SSH to connect to the gateway machine? > > If I knew what log to view, I might find why its not working.

Is there a firewall on your machine blocking connections, though. Another troubleshooting step would be to use telnet to verify you can connect to the machine: $ telnet 10.3.1.194 5901 And see if you get a response. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
