[geeks] Irix port forwarding

[Shawn Wallbridge]

But you don't need irix to do any forwarding if it has ssh.

I tunnel VNC all the time for work. I have a machine inside our network
that is running the VNC server, it's behind a firewall. I use SSH from
my firewall to open a tunnel to the firewall directing all traffic to
the VNC machine.

This should work for you....

192.168.1.1 - Windows box IP
123.123.123.123 - External IP of SGI

ssh -g -l username -N -L 139:192.168.1.1:139 123.123.123.123

give it a try.
