I installed tightvnc on FreeBSD 6.2 and I start the vncserver on that machine. Thereafter, I can do vnc via ssh to that vncserver from my kubuntu desktop with something like this (hostname is the only thing changed to protect the innocent): ssh -L 15901:localhost:5901 -N -f -l pollywog myhost.example.com However, when I attempt to connect to that vncserver from my laptop running FreeBSD 7 I always get this: bind: Can't assign requested address channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 15901 Could not request local forwarding. Is the "bind" referring to the nameserver BIND? BTW I am able to connect to the vncserver from the laptop, just not via ssh.
