Enter host name/IP address of Linux box OK, I get it, but that means I can only log in from a fixed location (from the one Linux box I connected to from Windows). That is useful, though. But if I want to connect from my Linux netbook in a Starbucks, I'm out of luck. Your method could work well for me because I would usually connect to my home Windows VNC from within the VNC session on the Linux box in my office, then I'd connect to that Linux VNC session from anywhere (e.g., Starbucks), go to the right workspace, and there's my home Windows box.
