RealVNC help

[Goi]

Hi,
I'm trying to connect from the outside world(particularly school computers running Fedora Core 2) to my WinXP PC that's running RealVNC server.
I'm wondering how I can set up SSH tunneling for more security? I've downloaded and installed cygwin on my WinXP PC, including the SSH modules, but I'm not sure how to set them up.

I can currently establish a connection via port forwarding on my Netgear 614v4 wireless router, would I still need to port forward with SSH tunneling?

Thanks!

If you wish to switch to usng SSH tunnelling then yes you will need to still use port forwarding. The default port that SSH uses is 22.

Thanks, but how exactly do I setup my SSH server on my XP machine?

http://www.cygwin.com/ I use cygwin's OpenSSH ssh server.

Thanks. As indicated in my first post, I have downloaded and installed Cygwin. I'm just not sure of how to set the SSH server up, and I can't find any documentation on this. Most of the documention has been on setting up clients on Windows machines and servers on Unix/Linux machines...any help in setting up the SSH server up on my XP machine would be appreciated.

I don't recall the exact steps, but the info here looks close to what I did:

Thanks, that worked...at least, I think so. I'm able to setup an SSH connection and connect to the XP vnc server with the address localhost so I guess I can assume tunneling is working
