    I'm using ssh to connect to work, and doing port forwarding to get my
    email and other services that work offers. I forward my http connections
    to a web proxy at work in order to access internal web pages, and at my
    ssh shell login I often get this error message:
    channel 10: open failed: connect failed: Operation timed out

    The channel number changes each time. The effect this has is that it
    takes a long time to download a web page from work, and I can see that
    for most of that time no communication is being sent to or from me to
    the web server (or proxy).

    I am currently on dialup, but I also saw this problem while I had
    broadband internet.

    I'm running openssh 3.5 on a Gentoo Linux box (i386). I'm connecting to
    a solaris 2.5.1 server. Not sure what ssh it's running.

    If anyone has seen this problem and could help me fix it I'd appreciate
    it. This problem slows down an already slow dialup connection.

    Thanks.
