It _should_ be, certainly. In another terminal, what happens if you run 'telnet localhost 5143'? If that doesn't succeed, show the output of the same ssh command with '-v' added. It's possible that port forwarding has been disabled, although I'd have expected a warning message from your ssh client in that case. > If I tell evolution to connect to localhost:5143, evolution says that > the local host is refusing connections to port 5143 (I am a newbie at > this port/networking stuff). Odd. As long as you are currently logged in to 'external.server.net' from the machine on which Evolution is running, with the above command line, this should have worked. I generally can't be bothered to start the SSH connections manually. It's not something that session management can handle for me, and I tend to reuse the terminals which are lying around and log out, taking the tunnels with them.... that's why I prefer to let Evolution run SSH for itself. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
