I'm running a Freesco box at home, so "NAT Box" might be more like it. It looks like, if one wants a full desktop environment, this *isn't* the way to go. Good for running an occasional X app, maybe?
Anyway, thanks for helping this poor newbie out. :-) Thanks, Kevin Griffis -----Original Message----- From: David Z Maze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 11:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Cygwin SSH through a router?

Is it possible to tunnel through a router > using Cygwin/SSH and get an X desktop? I bet you don't mean "router", but rather "NAT box". Regardless, though, if you have some way of making an ssh connection from point A to point B such that you can tunnel VNC over it, you can tunnel X over it too. You're not going to get an "X desktop" if you do this, but you can run individual X applications (conceivably including a window manager, desktop environment, etc.) on an X server running on your local machine. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
