Hey,
So I've spent most of the day trying to figure out how to get my home linux desktop to show up on the computer at my school. I'm behind a router and a firewall. I control the router, not the firewall. Anyway, I learned about ssh tunneling and am doing that. I run into a problem when, after I do the tunneling, and start the viewer (on a linux box for now, not going to try to mess with windows till a little later), it looks like it starts up, but nothing happens.
my terminal looks like this:

CConn: connected to host localhost port 5902
CConnection: Server supports RFB protocol version 3.130
CConnection: Using RFB protocol version 3.8

I've done it withough the PreferredEncoding option as well. Basically, it looks like its starting up, but no window opens, nothing happens. I believe the school machine is a RH9, my box at home is Suse9.1.
maybe it is working, just on a different display?
