Secondarily to dSw's comments about forwarding the ports, if you are using a Windows box at work then you might want to try using the excellent (and free) Tunnelier: http://www.bitvise.com/tunnelier.html This does the SSH client work for you, as well as making the configuration easy. Just make sure that it forwards 3483 and 9000 (and anything else you need). Then configure SoftSqueeze to connect to 127.0.0.1, and it should work. Other setup tips for this: * You can set up pass-through forwarding ("S2C") to allow other clients on your work network to browse the slim web pages, stream, etc. * You can enter the .jar filename to execute automatically when tunnelier connects successfully Also, you might want to choose an arbitrary high port number in place of 22, if you don't want people banging against it with scripts every hour of the day.
