I have no idea why I'm not able to connect to the server through the ssh connection. I can ssh out from the home computer to other servers with port 22 not blocked. Rick B.Rick, On your home machine, does a netstat -an | grep 5000 show you a listening port? When do you get if you add the -v flag to your connection attempt from your home computer? FWIW, your use of localhost on both the server side and the home side makes this a very confusing read.

I guess I could substitute an IP for localhost. Isn't "localhost" just another name for the local computer? So on the first use of ssh, localhost refers to the server and on the second use of ssh, it refers to the home computer. At least, that's what I believe. Rick B. Rick, The tunnel that you tried to establish from work to home is not running otherwise you would see a listening socket on port 5000 on your home machine. Oh, and to find out what has port 50001 open do a "netstat -anp | grep 5000" and you'll see what process has it open. Kevin |
