	I am trying to use vnc over ssh to connect to my PB@home, while here at work. I can get into my box via ssh, but vnc wont connect to it. Any clues what I am doing wrong. Using OSXvnc (1.33) as the vnc server and trying to connect with vncthing. ssh me@XX.XXX.XX.XXX -L 5901/USERNAME/5901 then i launch vncthing - here's where i think the problem is for server i enter : username:5901 and enter password then i get a connection failed any help would be appreciated PS I Keep getting this error - any clues? channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused (Last edited by zerografix; Aug 16, 2004 at 08:10 AM. )
