 . To use this tunnel, log into your machine with Putty. Once logged in you need to start a vncserver on the remote machine. It will respond with the display number:

 Verify that this display number corresponds with the one use have defined in the tunnel. If not, go back to 2. and add the correct tunnel. Leave the putty ssh session on.

+==== End the Tunnel ====
+After you are done, exit from the graphical enviroment by logging out from ''hostname'' and closing the associated window. This will end the vnc viewer.
+Nou you are still left wit the open putty ssh session and its tunnel. But on the ''hostname'' the vncserver is still running, so we need to close that too. Type on the unix prompt : ''%%vncserver -kill :1 %%'' or whatever port number you have been assigned previously. This will end the vncserver session and now you are ready to logout the putty session by typing  on the unix command: ''%%exit%%''.
-That is it!
