By way of introduction, I've been to two meetings but I'm new to the list. (howdy, KevinO) I'm on a quest to access machines at my work securely from home over a public VDSL connection. I'm sick of battling VTUN* so I've settled on tunneling X through SSH2. That works relatively dandy from my firewall but I'd much rather use my main box which is on my home subnet. To get the X traffic to come through I'd have to set my DISPLAY variable correctly and/or find out how to do some sort of trick network address translation. I tried 'export DISPLAY=192.168.0.2:0.0' just to see if masq could handle it - I also tried setting it to my firewall's address. Anyone have a suggestion on how to proceed? I'd appreciate it a lot :-) For the sake of discussion, this is my network configuration: firewall: VDSL connected to eth0, addr 247.123.45.67 via DHCP firewall: hub connected to eth1, addr 192.168.0.1 mask 255.255.255.0 FavoriteBox: connected to hub, addr 192.168.0.2 WorkBox: addr 141.190.8.55, static address ip forwarding and ipmasq work on the firewall. Everyone involved is running Redhat 6.2 and latest SSH2. * in a perfect world I'd be able to create a "type ether" tunnel using vtun so I can move IPX/SPX as well as TCP/IP via USWest's network. I can establish the tunnel OK but getting my traffic routed through it isn't what I'd call "obvious"... TIA, Steve Smith
