I have been using PuTTY this afternoon at work (I was wrong - it *does* support command line arguments and sessions) because it allows Public/Private Key Authentification (which allows me to revoke and renew a user's Public/Private Key pair without effecting the user's password and account) and have made a floppy which allows a Windows box to have tunnels to ports 13[7-9] on the Win NT Server inside the LEAF Firewall. I tested it from my Win NT work-station and a "netstat -a" at the cmd.exe prompt reveals a nice set of listening sockets on 127.0.0.1:13[7-9] However, now here at home, having shown that the SHH connection through the Firewall works (console, X forwarding etc.), I *can't* see the listening sockets on 127.0.0.1:13[7-9] on this Win 95 box with a "netstat -a". Seems like a Win NT/Win 95 difference. I will have to investigate... > ... then go Start -> Find -> Computer and type in "\\127.0.0.1\" and > Find Now. This should get you to the remote end of the tunnel. My problem was finding the "Microsoft-ism" to access my end of the tunnel. Thanks, now I know what to try (on a *non* Win 95 box!). > It is important to remember that the tunnel emminates from the > machine where the ssh server resides but it does not need to be > pointed at it.

My SSH tunnel through the Firewall ends at a Linux box on the lan, but forwards the connections to the Win NT Server on the lan. > If you don't want to use \\127.0.0.1\ then you can try adding MS > Loopback as an additional adapter to your WinXX machine and give it > a non-127.0.0.1 address probably in one of the non-routable blocks > ie;172.16.1.1.

What do you mean with "don't blow away localhost functionality of whatever you tunnel" ? Also, "Route print" (on my Win 95 box) does show 127.0.0.1, but how do I "add MS Loopback as an additional adapter" and give a non-routable IP address? Linux I can manage, but this MS stuff... ;-) > dbc. Greetings Mark > On Thu, 18 Oct 2001, Mark Plowman wrote: > > > David, > > > > > From: "David B.
