I do similar for Synergy. I don't understand how that works. I have a VNC server on a Windows box and PuTTY on the same Windows box, and I have the VNC viewer on a Linux box. How do I connect from Linux to the VNC session on Windows using PuTTY when PuTTY is on the Windows machine? I was thinking maybe Cygwin with OpenSSH could run on the Windows box. If it would allow incoming SSH connections and port forwarding, that could work. Mike
