Sorry, but I can't find the help page you refer to. There's a "Softsqueeze SSH Tunneling Howto" that points you to how to set up a (generic) SSH Server, but doesn't address the steps necessary to make it and the slimserver work together on a Windows system.
Sorry to reveal my ignorance (again), but your note raised a couple of questions for me: 1) Which port on the Slimserver? My firewall won't forward to just an IP address, it needs a port number as well. 2) How does one set up the SSH config file? - it doesn't appear to be something that Notepad can handle. 3) I didn't realize that one could enter the IP address in the "SSH Server" box - it appears to be a dropdown with only one choice. Thanks to your note, though, I've put the right information in that box. I still can't connect, but I feel like I'm getting somewhere.

In my case (running Linux) I needed to do several things. 1. On my NAT/Router/Firewall box forward all port 22 traffic to the IP of the Slim Server. 2. Set up the SSH config file on my server box (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) to allow access (I turned authentication on) 3. In Softsqueeze I checked "use ssh tunnel" and then I input as the SSH server IP the IP address of my NAT/Router provider IP address. I then put in my SSH username and password and checked store password. I needed no ssh proxy information (set to none). I start up softsqueeze, it says starting ssh client, prompted me the first time for the password a few times and then after that it runs great. I set bandwidth limiting to 128kbps to avoid unecessary attention at work and to avoid saturating the uplink on my cable modem. -- jmpage2 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
