Yes, you want L5901->R5901 (on localhost). Then connect your viewer to "localhost:1"

I have made a few changes, I was confusing myself with the ports. On the router.... port 22 is open on public and private side (having 5901 on public side was confusing me). Inside of Putty.... (ssh connection works) I have a tunnel that looks like this.... "R5901 my_ip_here:5901". Should this be an L instead of an R? When I open vncviewer and use localhost:1, I get unable to connect to host, connection refused (10061). If these settings are correct, should localhost:1 work or should I enter something else in the initial viewer window?

Only if you are connecting to "localhost:1", which is the secured local port being forwarded.

I am trying to enable vnc over ssh. I'm going from my machine at work (XP) to my home machine (Fedora Core 2). I have a D-Link router behind my cable modem. I can open a port (5901) on my router and use vnc alone, which I know isn't secure. I opened port 22 on my router to enable ssh. I can ssh to my box at home. I am using putty to ssh. I enabled a tunnel to forward 5901 from work to remote port 5901 at home. I can open the ssh session in putty, and I can connect using vnc. And now the main part of my question.......Is my vnc viewer session secured over ssh?
