hey,
im curious to know if i can get a command-shell from my windows box, running an ssh server, by using putty on my linux box.

wut command should i put into linux???
here's the error i get when i type: putty -P 22 -ssh 192.168.1.2

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0

so, any ideas????

Here's a link to how to setup the ssh server on windows. Then you should be able to ssh in. Not sure what kind of CLI it will give you (i.e. a windows command prompt or a cygwin command prompt)...
