Sorry for replying to my own post but here we go again.
Can someone tell me the exact command I need in putty to do what I describe
below.
I have three windows xp pro machines. A is connected directly to the
internet. B and C are behind a router on a cable broadband connection as
shown below.
B
/
A--- internet ----- Router<
\
C
I want to connect a remote desktop connection from A to B with B as the
server machine.
At the moment port 22 on the router is forwarded to B. Nothing else is open
on the router.
I have tried using plink with the following command
plink.exe -ssh -2 -v -L 127.0.0.2:3390:remoteHost:3389 -pw passWord
userName@remoteHost
And it says that the port has been forwarded. It now appears though that I
have a forwarded port from my local 3390 to port 3389 of the router.
Obviously this will not work. I don't want to forward 3389 on the router to
B as this will open the remote desktop up to connections directly from the
web which I don't want.
The remoteHost is a host name provided by dyndns if that makes any
difference.
How do I write the command to forward a port on my local machine to a
machine behind a router. I was hoping to have only port 22 open to the
outside world.
