Hi-

I had mixed results.

I can do ssh -Y blaster@127.0.0.1 and connect. Then I can do xterm & and it displays an xterm in cygwin.

I have the vbox rules :

ssh 127.0.0.1 2250 mylinuxguestIP 22

in virtualbox.

I chose nat network.

However if I do putty to make a tunnel which looks like:

127.0.0.1 2250

L127.0.0.1:2250 mylinuxguestIP:22

I can connect with a tunnel, but I can't get xterm & to go to the correct display?

I know to check xllforwarding in putty but am sure what to put for the display. I thought it was localhost:0.

Is there a way I can use the command line to do this like

ssh -Y blaster@127.0.0.1 except with tunneling also?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

thx. - mtdew3q

Hi-

I got ssh -L 22:yahoo.com:80 user@home syntax to work with a bridged adapter in virtualbox.

I can't get the same command to work in a nat network.

Any tricks to go from one to the other with the same configuration? I am blocked in nat network but not bridged?

I didn't change the ssh_config or sshd_config afterwards.

thx.- mtdew3q

NAT behaves just like a physical router. It blocks all incoming traffic unless unless you setup port forwarding rules. In the network setup select advanced.

the problem is that putty has no any idea about your display, so X11 forwarding is more or less meaningless.
ssh -Y (from cygwin) created a virtual display on the remote host which was redirected to the local, real display.

You can try to login with ssh -Y and check how display is set and use that display from putty too (without disconnecting that ssh session).
Or you need to create something similar to ssh -Y, which is redirecting port 6010 (=virtual display :10) on the remote host to localhost:6000, but it may depend on how your local display (Xwin) was configured.

Hi Pan64 and michaelk:

I am going to stick with just using the bridged adapter. It works. I banged my head enough against the wall for one session.

Thx. and have a cool Sun.
