The way this looks from here, the connection stays in your machine - i.e. your machine (192.168.1.107) connects to your machine (again 192.168.1.107) using ssh through a loopback port forwarding tunnel. > 2.

What happens when you stagger the port Nos (i.e. vnc server on 5900 and vnc viewer on 5901)? > More rub- I can make the connection successfully from a windows box > running putty and using vncviewer 4 on windows (using the > my-address.no-ip.com.) I am assuming that WinXP box has a different IP address, hence no conflict. -- Regards, Mick [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature] _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
