VNC over SSH (ooh, fun...)

NOTE: Just to make this even more fun, all machines involved are Windows machines (XP Pro on both).

I've been looking at http://www.realvnc.com/ and thier VNC client/server and trying to use thier guidelines on setting it up via SSH.
However, it's not the most clearly written thing in the world (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html) and I'm slightly confused.

The configuration I'm trying to work goes thusly:

Local PC with VNC Client ---> SSH Tunnel over Internet ---> Remote PC

I know I need to set up SSH on the local PC to forward the request for port 5900 over SSH to the remote PC. What I'm slightly confused about is exactly what needs doing in terms of software.

I need an SSH server on the local pc to do the forwarding, right?
From what I can see there's no mention of needing to run anything SSH related on the "target" - the remote pc. Am I correct?
Is an SSH client involved at any point and where should it be if it is?

Thanks,
megla (with a slight headache)

Would it not have been easier to use Windows XP integrated desktop sharing though? Last time i checked RDP was a lot more bandwidth friendly than VNC, and you get session encryption thrown in to boot.

I distrust XP's "remote support" type features ever since the release of service pack 1 and all the accusations that went along with it.
I'd rather use a third party app which I'm more inclined to believe does only what it says it does.

Remote desktop is provided seperate from this remote support lark, that requires an invitation and ive never really cared about it. The remote desktop from WinXP is based on Terminal Server and most the code has been ripped from 2k Adv Server. Just as a little note, Terminal Services have been around since the days of NT4 so they are one of the few decent enterprise level applications from MS imo. Just seems your putting in a lot of hassle when not only there is an alternative, but in my opinion a better one (and you already have it!).
