I used to do that; then I decided I wanted access to MythWeb, my Squid proxy, mail server, mfd (DAAP ports), etc... It finally got to be a bit ridiculous remembering which ports I'd forwarded where, and I ended up setting up a PPP tunnel over ssh for a pseudo-VPN. Works like a charm, and only requires that you have PPP configured on both ends. Pretty easy to set up using the PPP-SSH Mini HOWTO: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/ppp-ssh/index.html -JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
