I use PuTTY on a Win98 machine to connect to my home machine behind a router, tunnelling VNC over SSH. Is it possible to tunnel through a router using Cygwin/SSH and get an X desktop?
I like VNC (especially TightVNC), but I've found it to be a bear to set up. :-) I often lose the ability to dial in to the machine, and I'm not quite sure why. Is the Cygwin/SSH solution easier and more robust? Is it faster?

I'll give that a shot tonight when I have more time. - -- .''`.
