I'm currently trying to get FreeNX setup but I'm running into some problems setting that up. I'm not sure how ssh tunneling works so to even get that to work is a daunting task.
Since I'm pretty new to linux and the lack of howto's on the topics that I need help with I'm at a loss for what I can do. If you have any links to articles that tell users who don't have a clue (aka me!) I would love to read them.
Thanks!
Okay, here comes help.... 1) Do you have your ssh server up and running on the linux? 2) Do you have an Internet addresable address for your home box? 3) have you setup vnc via xinetd in yast? 4) at work are you using windows? I assume yes to the first since SUSE sets up ssh by default. I assume you know how to get to your home box from the internet since you are only talking about getting out of the office. I also assume you've setup and tested vnc at home. If you got linux at work (which I doubt since you are so excited about SUSE at home), you can use the vncviewer -via <user>@<home> localhost:1 Most probably you problem consists of getting ssh tunneling going from a windows client. This has been discussed a million, zillion times on the vnc lists, but I'm sure that if you confirm the above some else will be kind enough to add a link to one of the many descriptions on how this done....
