I used to use the following all the time to access my Windows machine
remotely:

ssh -f -L 5901:localhost:5900 -N -C -o Compression=yes -o CompressionLevel=9 
<machine name or ip>
vncviewer &

YMMV.

Obviously, you need to make sure that the port ssh is using is open
through any firewall.

None of this is really Cygwin-specific so further discussion on this l
list along this line is really off-topic though.
