What do you mean with "auto connect"?

Specifically, I'm talking about the step under the headline "Establish a Telnet Connection". Just skip the part where it talks about setting Telnet and Post 23. SSH and port 22 is just fine there.

First, take this hurdle.

If done, and if the problem persist, we can do port forwarding. A fast rundown of the needed steps for the scenario of the "How To" you linked: Configure Putty for SSH access (see above). Before clicking "Open", select "Connection/SSH/Tunnels". Enter source port 5901, destination "localhost:5901", select "Remote" and click "Add". A line "R5901 localhost:5901" should be added to the list under "Forwarded ports". You then possibly want to save the connection settings in PuTTYs start page under a canonical name. The kvncviewer start command would then have to be modified to try to connect to "localhost:1" instead of "192.168.2.1:1".
