OK, I give up.  I read all the information I could find but
I still can not figure out how to set up a SSH host on a
Windows machine.

Hardware:
- Test Host
-- Windows 98 with public IP
-- WinVNC 3.3.3 R9
-- Cygwin 1.5.5-1 with the OpenSSH package installed
-- Dial-up connection to the Internet
-- no firewall (this is just a test setup)

-Test Client
-- Windows 2000 with private IP
-- WinVNC 3.3.3 R9
-- PuTTY  version 0.53b
-- T1 connection to the internet
-- Router based firewall

Goal:
- Have a service running on the Test Host that will accept
connections from my work computer through the firewall.

Attempts so far:
- Cygwin has been installed as best as I know how.  A few of
the posts suggested I should run the command "ssh -g -L
5900:localhost:5900 localhost" on the host.  Unfortunately
all I get back is "ssh: connect to host localhost port 22:
connection refused".  This doesn't make a lot of sense as
I'm not trying to connect to a host but rather start a host.
I'm sure I've missed something.  I saw references to SSHD as
a daemon that needs to be started but I don't know how.
- I configured according to  Benjamin J. Weiss' instructions
(http://www.benjamin.weiss.name/putty-tunnel.html).  I'm
sure they will work just as soon as I get the host figured
out.

When I get this working, I will take what I've learned home
and apply it to my Windows XP machine.  It has a private IP
behind a router based firewall.

Thanks!
Evan
