Hello. I have a linux box at work and I want to be able to access this machine from home. At home I have a cable modem in front of a router that does NAT. One of the machines plugged into the router is a box running w2k.
I start vncserver on the linux box. I can then connect to this machine without problems from the w2k box. vncserver runs on port 1 of the linux box so I connect with vncviewer to snoopy:1 (going with the snoopy theme) But, I want to tunnel through ssh. So, I do ssh -L 5902:snoopy:5901 snoopy from my w2k box. This works fine after I give a password. If I understand this correctly, this tells the w2k box to link its port 5902 to 5901 on snoopy. This is because 5901 on snoopy is where the vncserver is running. But, I cannot seem to connect to this server. My ip address behind the router is 192.168.1.101 so I try to get vncviewer to connect to 192.168.1.101:2. I always get the message "Failed to Connect to Server." Can anyone explain how to fix this? Do I have to enable some sort of port forwarding behind the router? Right now no ports are forwarded. Thanks, michael --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
