RE: Cygwin SSH through a router?
I'm running a Freesco box at home, so "NAT Box" might be more like it. It
looks like, if one wants a full desktop environment, this *isn't* the way to
go. Good for running an occasional X app, maybe?
Anyway, thanks for helping this poor newbie out. :-)
Thanks,
Kevin Griffis

I bet you don't mean "router", but rather "NAT box". Regardless,
though, if you have some way of making an ssh connection from point A
to point B such that you can tunnel VNC over it, you can tunnel X over
it too. You're not going to get an "X desktop" if you do this, but
you can run individual X applications (conceivably including a window
manager, desktop environment, etc.) on an X server running on your
local machine.
