I can connect by ssh -p <port> <ip>
To connect to it via ssh try the following line in a shell vncviewer -via user@internet.addressable.host.or.ip 127.0.0.1:4
I try this and nothing happens... my local machine sits here tryign to connect to my remote machine. If I break the connection I get a tunnelling failed message.

Nope the -via parameter on the vncviewer command assumes standard port number! so it is the equivalent to ssh without "-p <port>" command. There are 3 ways to fix this, but I'll explain the one I find most usefull 8-) as root edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config After the top comments, before the "Host *" line add the following line: Host <some.where.com> Port <Port> save file, and test it with ssh WITHOUT -p option.... if it works, then vncviewer -via should work also. Jerry. P.S. I usually add the compression parameter in ssh_config also...
