THANKS BRAD!
OK, Cam, so if you follow Brad's suggestion, you will be able to browse an internal webserver. However, if you want to browse the web in general, Brad is missing something. You'll need a proxy server - like squid for your RH box (I run a windows proxy server on port 6588). Let's say squid also runs on port 6588 (it doesn't, but I don't know what port it runs on so let's just use this as an example). Change his Brad's plink command to : plink.exe -ssh you@a_RH_box -L 8888:internal_squid_server:6588 Now, in your Internet Explorer (or other browser), set it up to use a proxy server. The proxy server address is "localhost" the port is 8888. Once you do that, your browser will be tunnelled on port 8888 through SSH to your proxy server which will push your HTTP requests out onto the internet. Should be straightforward now. good luck. mike.
