> What are the correct packages and commands for making this vncviewer connection?
I VNC'd to my remote Fedora/Gnome workstation from my XP laptop by logging into a Windoz NT terminal server, using putty to configure an SSH port forward through a gateway server from my workstations VNC port to the terminal server's port 5905. Once the connection is made, I use VNC Viewer to connect to my workstation IP. When I set this up with putty on my XP box (connects to gateway's external IP), without going through the terminal server (connects to gateway's Internal IP), and attempt to connect with VNC Viewer on my XP box, I get the error 'unable to connect to host: Connection timed out (10060)'. When I telnet from gateway to workstation port 5900, connection is refused. Telnet to port 5901 returns RFB 003.008. Why does my connection time out? Does VNC viewer need to be configured for port 5905? Could some sort of Windoz XP firewall be blocking the connection?
