Re: [Fwd: Re: Login to home from work]
That leads me to this thought: if you really want access to a GUI desktop on your home machine, and/or don't want to carry an Putty floppy with you... What about installing (Tight)VNC on your Linux machine, and use its HTTP/Java capabilities to get to your machine from any Internet-connected machine that has a Java-capable browser? The beauty of that is that that web page Kenneth proposes could then have an actual *link* to your X desktop! That is perhaps not too secure, but you could always run apache-ssl, or apache + mod_ssl, with authentication, and use mod_proxy to forward requests to Xvnc. Mind you, personally I'd rather just use Putty/SSH when possible, and I use DynDNS for the addressing. I would think the above would be substantially slower - but it could help you out in a pinch.

At home there is a cable modem, then a router, then two linux boxes, with mine running debian (sid). I have a 192.168.2.xx ip address. I assume you just want a command line login (or maybe even X-forwarding). You then need to run a ssh-deamon on you're box at home (that's 'apt-get install ssh' I think.) From you're work you can then start a ssh-session to you're box at home. So you need to type somewehere 'ssh hostname or ip'. But it seems you have assigned an ip adres to you're box that is not visible from the internet. If you do have a fixed ip adres, I suppose you have to set up you're router(/firewall?) to do portforwarding. grts Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Phil Reardon *router* is a linux computer, or something like a Linksys or Cisco router? In my case, my LAN is up 24/7. I have an old P75 functioning as router/gateway. I simply ssh to my router, then ssh to my desktop machine. Another way I have done it is forwarding ports. I picked a high port number that is transparently routed directly to my desktop machine. Either way, you can easily configure this with ipmasq tools. gl tatah - -- Jaye Inabnit\ARS ke6sls\/A GNU-Debian linux user\/ http://www.qsl.net/ke6sls If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid.
