David,
it seems than Neal is running VNC server on MS Windows machine!
Neal,
if the above is true, you have to create the following key
in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\AllowLoopback=1
The ssh command should look as follows:
ssh -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5900 remotehost
If you want to connect to the VNC Server ONLY through ssh, you can
consider setting the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\LoopbackOnly=1
More info on keys at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html
Regards,
Miroslav Luptak
