RE: VNC - SSH / question, problem

Carl,

That's EXACTLY why you're connecting back to WINME through VNC.

SSH quietly does NOT map localhost:5902 to WINXP:5901 because there is
already something running on port 5902. That's the point of using
something like 9999. You have to use a port that is NOT IN USE with
SSH.

Try my command line again:
ssh -L 9999:WINXP:5901 WINXP
Then VNC to localhost:9999

It works, trust me.

-ME

Yes your assumptions are correct. WINXP is on port 5901 and WINME is on
port 5902. Yes I'm running VNCserver on both.

The 9999 port does not work since localhost is set to 5902.
