XP Laptop (work) <-> FreeBSD (work) <-> FreeBSD (home) <-> Mac (home) or Mac (remote) I understand that I need to set up a reverse SSH tunnel from FBSD (work) to FBSD (home). It's the tying in of the XP box and my Mac to either end that I'm having troubles with. Should those connections also be done via SSH tunnels or should I use port redirection on the FSBD boxes via ipfilter or an equivalent? Then end goal is to be able to use VNC on either my home Mac or with my Mac laptop remotely to control my XP laptop I'll leave at work. Any suggestions would be helpful. A general Idea of how everything should interact is basically what I'm looking for. I'll figure it out by trial and error once I have a rough plan. Thanks.
