I can VNC to my workstation from hosts on our LAN, but when I tunnel through the SSH gateway from outside, my vnc viewer connection times out. I can't get a telnet response from the vncserver either. I bypassed my home firewall, connecting XP directly into the cable modem, made my SSH connection, and VNC Viewer still times out. Windoz Firewall and fast client switching is turned off.
I instantiate an SSH port forwarded connection, through the gateway, from localhost 5905 (Windoz XP) to the vncserver (Fedora 5). When I execute 'netstat -a' on XP, I can see the open port (RFVO2:5905) listening but can't connect to it. I tried (vncviewer): Localhost:5 Localhost:5905 10.3.1.194:1 (workstation session) RFVO2:5 RFVO2:5905 Localhost:0 gives me infinite recursion desktops, even though vncserver isn't running locally. netstat -a | grep 5901 on the gateway returns tcp 0 0 *:5901 *:* LIST ...as well as info on another host obviously running VNC. Does this mean the gateway is not blocking the port? How can I tell for sure? Does the ISP, like cox.net, sometimes block the use of VNC?
