Well I want to keep the firewall as closed as possible so I want to open
up all the ports (5901-5905) as a last resort.  Thanks anyways.  By the
way my system is win2k and XP dualboot does that effect anything or were
you talking about my clients systems?

Oh, I don't know how to get ssh server to work on win9x sorry.  Only
NT4/2K/XP.

And the windows servers I spoke about are indeed cygwin.

I have used http://www.networksimplicity.com/openssh/ which is super
simple
to setup.  It is a hack, but it works pretty darn good!

Greg, without a stable OS, the way I would access these 5 systems is to
have
each computer use a different port.  Then forward port 5900 to computer
one,
5901 to computer two, etc.  This won't encrypt the data, and it opens
extra
ports.

Win9x/ME sux BTW LOL.
