I’m doing my head in trying to get Softsqueeze to work across the
internet via SSH and have read (and tried) all the suggestions on here
but with limited success so hope someone can suggest a ‘fix’.

First of all my setup:

Home PC has the Slim and SSH server installed on it and the XP firewall
has been configured to allow SSH(22) and Slimserver(9000&3483) through.

Router has been setup so SSH & Slimserver ports forward to home PC.

Work PC is running Putty and obviously Softsqueeze.

First of all I tried configuring Softsqueeze to use the built-in SSH
but just could not connect no matter what I tried. Well it did actually
start talking to my home PC because I got the usual warning messages and
was prompted for user name and password but after that it just gave the
message ‘Failed to connect’ so I then started using Putty. I have it
configured so that local port 9000 connects to
madeupname.homedns.org:9000 and local port 3483 connects to
madeupname.homedns.org:3483 (I’m using the DynDNS service).

Running Putty connects and allows me to login without a problem and
running netstat –a on my work PC shows that a connection has been made
to my home PC on port 22. I then run Softsqueeze which has been
configured to localhost in the network section and no SSH but all I get
is a repeated message saying lost contact with Slimserver.

Everything seems to be in place and working as I can connect to my
Slimserver via a browser using madeupname.homedns.org:9000 and if I
configure Softsqueeze to madeupname.homedns.org in the network section
it connects and work perfectly. The drawback with that is that it is
not running via SSH.

At this stage I just cannot think what more to try so any suggestions
are most welcome.
