But if I understood correctly, you are trying to make a tcp port on a machine behind your firewall, available to others, in your internal lan, to others, right? Well, for starters, I wouldn't use dns names on the port forwarding part. It's prone to errors, not to mention the fact that you'll get confused wheter the name is resolved locally or remote. But it's remote, IIRC. In your case, you need to add your ip address to the forwarding. In your case, it would become:
-L <LOCAL IP>:6030:<REMOTE SIDE IP>:5432 If it's not this that you want, please clarify. Cheers, [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pkcs7-signature which had a name of smime.p7s]
