if you want to work with solidworks or NX remotely, you need to access the windows machines. For that open an ssh connection by:

ssh -L3389:lab3:3389 username@jumpgate-phasta.colorado.edu

Then start remote desktop connection application/program from your laptop/PC. Put "localhost" in the Computer name and then press okay. Username is your username of the system, password is your main password (not VNC) and Domain is PHASTA.

Alternatively, it is possible to connect to a windows machines from within a VNC session. In a terminal, type

rdesktop -g [x resolution]x[y resolution] -x lan lab3

where "x resolution" and "y resolution" correspond to the desired window size. For example, rdesktop -g 1600x980 -x lan lab3 will yield a 1600x980 window.
