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!
