Hi Dharma,

To my knowledge VNC only uses 1 TCP port (unless you wish to use the Java
component, in that case it's 2). I have rechecked with the VNC over SSH
pages at AT&T (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html) and I am
simply following their setup. The only difference being that my initial SSH
connection gets SOCKSified.

Regards,

Pat
