This is a pretty interesting screenshot I took showing what can happen with a VNC loopback. I have setup VNC tunneling over ssh to connect to my pc from my work. I also use the Cisco VPN client to connect to my work. I then use Remote Desktop to get to my work pc. Two different methods to do the same thing in different directions, right. Now I have to use the cisco method to get to my work from a virtual machine I have setup on Virtual Server, because of a driver problem with Windows XP 64-bit. So I have connected to my work here, then I connected back to my pc from work.
As you can see it started opening tons of VNC connections, since it kept looping around. Kind of like holding two mirrors together. I guess it would keep going forever, except the computer would eventually crash. I closed the first vnc windows pretty quickly, and everything was back to normal. I wouldn’t recommend doing this, but I wanted to see what would happen.
you come there with 127.0.0.1 as ip, right?
