Re: Problem w/symantec firewall & SSH Tunnel

All very very good suggestions! I appreciate you taking the time to
respond.
Luckily the service I use for VPN that also supplies services for SSH
tunnels had also responded (will
wonders ever cease :)) and apparently the firewall protects programs that
launch other programs (which
apperently the program does (.bat files that launch other files). So it was
simply adding the *.bat and other
file to the allowed list of programs that launch other programs.

Well, kind of simple, I seem to be past that problem, but of course, not
to make anything worth having to
easy, I am know experiencing time outs and such :) I assume it still
something to do with the firewall.
Atleast I am learning a little out of it!

Thank you again for your time and suggestions!!!
