I have a related question. I have no trouble using X11 forwarding from within my LAN, but how do I punch thru my firewall using ssh? Here's my setup:
a = firewall/router running potato b = desktop running woody c = laptop running woody If the laptop (c) is connected directly to my LAN (either wired or wireless), I can "ssh -X b" and connect to the desktop (b) computer and run programs under X. If I'm at work (therefore outside the firewall), and want to connect to the desktop computer, I can "ssh a", and after logging in to the firewall I can "ssh b" and read my mail using mutt, but I cannot run program under X (adding the -X switch doesn't work). How do I connect to the desktop computer _thru_ the firewall and use X11 forwarding? Do I have to setup ssh port forwarding on the firewall? Do I have to setup some other VPN software? Is there a howto anywhere that will guide me? Thanks! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
