I tried to use tigervnc to connect to a linux virtualbox guest from cygwin.
Those 3 things are independent, i.e. there's no VNC in Cygwin (OK there
is, but you don't need it... and installing an X server just for that is
overkill), and there's no VNC in a Linux virtualbox unless it is running
the VNC server.
I am not sure it is possible after many attempts.
Of course its possible. You are just going at it the wrong way.
I did have ssh working and x forwarding of smallish APPS.
Irrelevant. You don't need any of those.
Just follow the VNC guide, its simple, you need a client (tigerVNC --
there's a version for Windows) and a server, then you need to know which
IP address and port to use, maybe open those ports on firewalls.
