Tunneling a protocol over ssh

I have a problem at work because they have turned off nearly all our
ports outgoing as well as incoming....

what I would like to do is this...


HOME

Linux box running a vncserver

           |
           |
           |

CABLE MODEM

           |
           |
           |

Firewall at work

           |
           |
           |

My Win2k desktop system at work
running a VNCviewer

I also have some Linux and Solaris systems which I can use...

What I would like to do is set up an ssh tunnel so that I can view my
Linux system at home which

so my thinking is that I should be able to use one of the *nix boxes to
tunnel the VNC connection via ssh over port 22

what commands on the Linux/Solaris boxes do I need to use to do that,
also do I need to run some command on my Linux box at home to complete
the connection

I have been able to view my Home Win2k system on my work 2k system using
a tunnel via putty, so I know it is possible... and I just redirect a
port on my Home Linux system to my home Win2K box.

Thanks

Chris
