Glad to help if I can. One caveat to warn you about the windows boxes, Daniel. I really had a hair pulling time on one & it turned out to be because it had M$'s tools for unix administration on it. It wasn't needed since cygwin was on there. I know it was running nfs client services which also wasn't needed, left over from before samba was totally incorporated across the network, and I'm not sure what else, so there was undoubtedly something there conflicting with cygrunsrv. Once the unix admin tools were uninstalled, and the box rebooted & the tunnel established, when the clicking start-run- typing in IP-enter crap was all done, the hookup was really fast. I'm sure if you wanted you could reverse that & get rid of cygwin & keep the unix tools running it's sshd as a service instead, but I'm used to cygwin & actually kind of like it. It's helped me out quite a bit in the past. -- Denny White All messages scanned by ClamAssassin http://jameslick.com/clamassassin/ =============================================================== GnuPG key : 0x1644E79A | http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net Fingerprint: D0A9 AD44 1F10 E09E 0E67 EC25 CB44 F2E5 1644 E79A =============================================================== iD8DBQFHnv68y0Ty5RZE55oRAraaAKCLo3U3cM8KqX/x+/+l9XxZNxFXFQCgufRB lorarlKznbBs5/PIhc9TMM4= =f238 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
