Those 3 things are independent, i.e. there's no VNC in Cygwin (OK there is, but you don't need it... and installing an X server just for that is overkill), and there's no VNC in a Linux virtualbox unless it is running the VNC server. > I am not sure it is possible after many attempts. Of course its possible. You are just going at it the wrong way. > I did have ssh working and x forwarding of smallish APPS. Irrelevant. You don't need any of those. Just follow the VNC guide, its simple, you need a client (tigerVNC -- there's a version for Windows) and a server, then you need to know which IP address and port to use, maybe open those ports on firewalls. -- R.Berber
