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?


You can tunnel any port over SSH. All you need to do to tunnel RDP is forward port 3389.

So to connect to a box on your LAN with the IP of 10.0.0.1, do this:

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 3389:10.0.0.1:3389

Then RDP to localhost on port 3389.

If you're doing this from an XP box you'll need to use a non standard port because it's already listening for an RDP connection on 3389, you sometimes also need to connect using a secondary localhost IP:

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 3389:10.0.0.1:3390:127.0.0.2

Then RDP to 127.0.0.2:3390
If you don't have the luxury of ssh on the command line, later versions of Putty do the job, just use the tunneling options.


regards,
Peter.
