I am new to this (forwarding through ssh), but *indeed* it does look
neat.

Thanks!  I am also investigating various other possibilities, PuTTY
comes into the picture for me because it supports Public Key
authentification whilst I don't think Tunnelier does (or am I wrong?).
But on the other hand PuTTY doesn't appear to support configuration
files and command line parameters (drat!).

OK, here comes the question:

Yesterday I was playing with this, forwarding 137/138/139 through an
encryted tunnel (still *on* the company network - I haven't yet
punctured my LEAF Firewall!) from a Win NT box to a Linux box.

Experiments with tunneling HTTP were easy, point browser at localhost
or configure the browser with localhost as proxy and Bingo!

However, how do I get the MS client software (this is for rodent bound
road-warriors) to look into the tunnel?  Or did you do it with SAMBA
related tools on Linux?

Yeah, it's nice, but the worries persist...
