Using Putty, log onto the server. Then type in
vncviewer server:1
and "see" the Desktop of the server *without* having the vnc ports open on the server; instead have the vnc data transferred via the SSH connection.

Start the vncserver and verify that it works locally by doing a vncviewer server:1 on the same machine (this should give a nice picture in picture in picture..). This is what already works, right? From a windows machine setup the a putty session by having a tunnel forwarding local port 5901 to server:5901. Then start a vncviewer on Windows (Realvnc/Tightvnc) and go to localhost:1 (so not to server:1) (You tried to start vncviewer in the putty shell? This will not work)

On the server (Here with term 20): =================================== To start the server: vncserver :20 -depth 8 -geometry 1152x864 -name MyServerName:20
To stop the server: vncserver -kill :20
To change the VNC Password: vncpasswd
To get Gnome instead of default TWM: - vi ~/.vnc/xstartup - comment out TWM - add: gnome-session &
In PuTTY: - Create a session - Create a tunnel: L 5920 Destination: your.server.address:5920
Once connected: start VNC Viewer and enter "localhost:20" (without quotes) as the connect address. (Tested with TightVNC)
That should do the trick.
