I wonder if anyone can help me work out how to do this, please: I have two private networks (192.168.1.0/24) each with a firewall machine connecting through ADSL to the Internet. Each private network can reach the Internet through the firewall (using NAT); therefore no machine except the firewall is visible from outside (at static IP addresses allocated by the ISP).
I can, from any machine on either private network, do "ssh -X remote.firewall.address" and connect to the remote firewall. What I am trying to do is to use ssh tunnelling to go direct to one of the machines on the remote private network, because I need to be able to run X programs from that machine on my own display. However, I can't work out how to do it. So far, I tried ssh -X -L 8877:remote.private.machine:22 remote.firewall.address (using 8877 as an arbitrary unassigned port) but all that gives me is a connection to the remote firewall itself. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."
