No vnc server running on the workstation. I have played with several
different port #'s and I get the same message. It tells me loopback
connections are not allowed. I have looked in the registry and I cannot
find an entry for VNC loopback.
I read the article before contacting the list. I believe I am doing
everything exactly as spec'ed. I have only one question. When you use
local host is that localhost as in actually typing 'localhost' or is the IP
of the local computer I am working on. I have tried it both ways. If I
type in the IP VNC returns the error that the server cannot be found, but if
I type in 'localhost' it tells me the loopback is disabled.
So I still got the problem, my exact connection string is as follows:
Ssh -L 5902:192.168.0.239:5902 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It then prompts me for the password. I enter the password and It confirms I
am connected, and gives me a command prompt from the other computer.
I have the vnc server on port 02.
I can connect directly to the VNC server without ssl
I connect directly to ssl
I just cant get vnc to go over ssl because of the loopback not being
enabled.
So I guess the question is, where do I enable the loopback.
Thanks for your help, I don't want to sound ungratefull, but its very
frustrating.

It sounds kind of like you already have a VNC server running on display 0 on
your workstation. If that's the case, use '5901:remotehost:5900' in your
ssh command line, and try 'localhost:1' to connect to the tunnel. Otherwise
you'll have a conflict since ssh will be trying to use the same port number
the existing server is already using.
Your ssh command line should look something like this:
ssh -L 5901:remotehost:5900 remotehost
Have a look at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html if you haven't
already.

When I try localhost:0 VNC tells me loopback connections are not allowed.
What am I doing wrong?

You need to point VNC at the local end of the ssh tunnel, not at the remote
machine. Make your VNC connection to 'localhost:0'.

Can anyone help?
This is the command I am entering on the client to redirect my VNC ports to
ssh.
ssh -L 5900:remotehost:5900
The server is running VNC and ssh and I can connect to the ssh terminal and
execute commands. And I can connect to VNC. My problem lies in getting the
VNC to use SSH. I am trying on 2 machines on my network and using a network
monitor to monitor the communication. When I issue the command, nothng is
out of the ordinary to let me know that it is not accepted. I open VNC and
connect. However the port monitor tells me I am still using 5900 and 22
(ssh) is not being utilized. I can watch the data transfer occur and it all
happens on 5900. I put a firewall in between and open up 22 but close 5900
and I am unable to connect.
