Followup to VNC connection

Thanks to Paul Howie's earlier post, I finally am able to log in remotely to both Suse 9.1 and 8.2. This without having to use the "desktop sharing" in KDE option. Very cool. Thanks! Still having a problem loggin in this way from outside my local net. I've tried logging in using SSH, with port forwarding to VNC, but can't seem to get this to work. I can do this with desktop sharing, but have not been able to log in directly to VNC thru SSH. Does anyone know how to do this? Jim Flanagan linuxjim<at>jjfiii.com
