Re: VNC - SSH / question, problem

Mike,

VNC connects just fine to WINXP from WINME (VNCviewer WINXP:1). I have been
using VNC for a while now quite successfully and I like it and how easy it
can be setup.

I'm trying to tunnel with VNC via SSH. The instructions say to use
VNCviewer localhost:2. I cannot do that without VNC Server running on WINME
or CAN I???????? I tried it and it did not work.

The main question is: How do I use VNC & SSH together to access a computer
remotely. I have all the "pieces" but the whole is not working.

Thanks
Carl
