And my feeble brain is too damaged by the dreaded lurgy to make heads or tails of it. home machine (home) ---- ISP --- internet --- work firewall --- work machine1 (additional firewall?) (work1) --- work machine 2 (desktop) (work2). I can ssh from home to the work1 and ssh from there to work2. home runs windows 2k and I have (full) admin access work1 and 2 run FreeBSD I have root access on work2 but not work 1 I guess I have to: run Xvncserver on work2 ssh tunnel (tunnel1-2) from work 2 to work 1 ssh tunnel (tunnelh-2) inside tunnel1-2 run vnclistener on home. any suggestions as to what is actually needed? can someone hold my hand though this? -- Dr Paul van den Bergen Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures caia.swin.edu.au pvandenbergen@swin.edu.au IM:bulwynkl2002 "And some run up hill and down dale, knapping the chucky stones to pieces wi' hammers, like so many road makers run daft.
