Hi Everyone, In my home I have a 4.4 box (scarlet) on a PPPoE DSL line which acts as = a firewall/NAT gateway/fileserver for me. I'd like to be able to = securely access the files on it from my Windows NT 4.0 laptop wherever I = might be. I currently execute the following command, which gets me = close to what I want (Cygwin) ssh -C2 -L 25:scarlet:25 -L 110:scarlet:110 -L 5901:scarlet:5901 -L = 137:scarlet:137 -L 138:scarlet:138 -L 139:scarlet:139 scarlet.myhome.net This forwards all the SMB ports so I can access my samba shares, along = with my mail, pop3, and VNC ports. The great thing about this solution = is that, once I have network connectivity on my laptop, I just type in = the alias for the above command, enter my password, and I'm hooked up. = It works fairly well, except SMB uses some UDP packets which ssh doesn't = forward, so the connection is unreliable. =20 Tonight I tried setting up IPSec and racoon on the FreeBSD box, and = PGPNet on my laptop, but without any success. Before I get any deeper, = I'd appreciate any suggestions if this is the best solution, and any = pointers to relevant experiences. My main criteria are that I want a = solution that is secure and straightforward to configure, with an easy = way to establish connections from different locations. =20 Thanks, -Tim timothyr@timothyr.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
