Why do you VNC to the redhat system, rather than going straight to the
Windows box?

If it's because of NAT making the Windows box unaddressable, or similar
firewall type issues, you might find ssh tunneling useful.  vncviewer
supports this with the "-via" switch, although you can create them
manually using ssh if you'd rather, using the -L and -R switches.

With vncviewer, you can just:

$ vncviewer -via gateway-system windows-system

Cheers,

Doug.
