Port Forwarding

[Mark Knecht]

Brad,
   Use port 22 and have him use ssh. You run sshd on your machine. He
jsut does an ssh into your IP address. You need to allow X forwarding.

   When you do it this way RealVNC can be tunneled through ssh which
is more secure and happens on a known port. More info here:
