Hi all,

I've gone through several online tutorials and I think I've got it setup ok on my internal network, haven't tested it externally or setup port forwarding.

In PuTTy I have added the internal ip of the PC running FreeSSHd Server and WinVNC Enterprise server (192.168.1.10) and set the Port to 22 (SSH)

Then under Tunnels: X display location = localhost:0
Source port: 5900
Destination: 192.168.1.10

I make the connection to the SSH server and login
Then I open the VNC viewer and enter: localhost:5900 and use my login details and on connection I get the screen of the PC running the SSH\VNC server.

It seems to be right but I wondered if someone could confirm?

Thanks

Don't think I need confirmation :) when putty isn't running I can't connect using localhost:5900 on the viewer so I guess this can be closed
