Unable to connect

Hi, all... I've been a long-time user of RealVNC, but haven't used it  
in awhile. I'm trying to tunnel to my Fedora Core 6 box at home via  
PuTTY and it doesn't seem to be working. I can ssh to the linux box,  
but whenever I attempt to use VNC, I immediately get "the connection  
closed unexpectedly" and an offer to try again.

I've got VNC running on :1, and I'm trying to connect to 127.0.0.1:1  
using the Benjamin Weiss "how-to" that I've got mirrored on my  
personal internet account, but it doesn't seem to be working.

My office PC is running Windows XP Pro with no firewall configured,  
however, I *am* behind a Pix. That being said, if I'm able to SSH out,  
I'd think I should be able to connect over the tunnel.

Any ideas? Please feel free to ask question. It's been awhile since I  
did this, so I may have overlooked something.
