Thanks David, I can SSH to the esmith box. I get the command line on the esmith box. However I've never gone past that esmith box into my windows network. Is it really possible to be able to "see" a Windows machine attached to a esmith box via SSH and the Internet? I appreciate your advice Rgds Michael
