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. 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.
