EITHER: For connection to Gamma Lab computer, open a command line window and enter: ssh -N -L 5800:192.168.163.111:5901 student@alab.physics.drexel.edu OR: For connection to NMR Lab computer, open a command line window and enter: ssh -N -L 5800:192.168.163.112:5901 student@alab.physics.drexel.edu IF the above complains about not finding your ssh private key, add "-i " to the command, where substitute for your ssh private key file. Normally, that would be located somewhere like your_home_directory/.ssh/id_rsa, which should be found automatically, but otherwise you'll need to use the "-i " option. THEN: if the ssh doesn't throw an error; looks like it's just sitting there. ***do not close the window with ssh*** open the vncviewer, type in address: localhost:5800 and you should be looking at a Windows desktop.
