Thanks in advance for your help! > > Tony > Please don't take this as an insult, but it is the impression I get from your post: You do have an SSH server running and are trying to connect PuTTY to that SSH server, right? PuTTY doesn't connect to the VNCServer, it needs an SSH server. When you have the SSH server set up you would connect to it over one port (normally Port 22) and can forward ports for VNC (and lots of other stuff) over that one port. This way everything is encrypted and you don't have to expose a number of different ports. -- William Hooper Families are like fudge . . . mostly sweet, with a few nuts. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
