What ports are you forwarding with ssh for this purpose? I have not read the docs, but my experiment shows that the "vncviewer /listen" listens on port 5500. I would recommend to try the following: - execute "vncviewer /listen" on your PC - on the "server" machine, execute "ssh -L5500:127.0.0.1:5500 your_pc" - on the "server" machine execute "winvnc -connect 127.0.0.1" > Any ideas?
