I'm looking for assistance in diagnosing a problem with establishing a VNC connection. The following is how I'm going about
it: 1. Initiate SSH Tunnel- From the vncviewer machine, I establish a ssh tunnel connection with the following command in a terminal window: ssh 192.168.1.107 -l user_name -p 22 -L 5900:192.168.1.107:5900 The ssh connection is successful. As you can see the ssh server's ip address is the same as the VNC server. This ssh tunnel stays on my local network and is not going through the Internet. 2. Initiate VNC session- I open a new terminal window and issue the following command: vncviewer localhost::5900 The VNC connection prompts for a password and is successful. Lots of joy. Here is where to problem occurs- I setup a dyndns entry with no-ip.com and substitute my 192.168.1.107 entry in the ssh command above with, my-address.no-ip.com, and successfully make the ssh connection. Next comes the rub, I receive the following error message when issuing the vncviewer localhost::5900 command: ReadFromRFBServer: rdr::EndOfStream More rub- I can make the connection successfully from a windows box running putty and using vncviewer 4 on windows (using the my-address.no-ip.com.) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this vncviewer work?
