Ok, just to make sure I'm understanding you here. We're dealing with 3 machines. The XP one that your parents have isn't all that important. For the other two, I'm kind of confused what you meant. This is what I'm understanding: 1) A Debian server somewhere with port 4567 being forwarded to port 22 on your home PC. (This server is NOT at your home) 2) A Debian PC at home with only port 80 publicly available, and with port 22 (presumably) open only to connections from the IP of box #1. If this is correct, then you can just connect to box #1 and do a direct SSH connection to #2. If the port-forwarding isn't working it's either because #1 isn't doing the forwarding correctly, or because #2 is down. If I'm not understanding you correctly here, then please give us some more details on how exactly the two boxes are connected. > I have a ssh connection from my home computer to my server via ssh, > can I take that process over somehow to restart the stuff? > I have of course root password to my home computer and my user account > on that computer.

SSH server and client processes only work in the direction they're supposed to, to the best of my knowledge. But if I got the part in #1 right, then you shouldn't need to get to this point anyway. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
