Any help appreciated. Jima's post is the way I would normally do it, but since OpenSSH 4.3 has some new features, lets take a look at a different way to solve this problem. SSH can now set up a tun(4) device between the client and server. So, you would ssh to Public_Server, and after authentication you get a tun1 (or the next availible tun device) set up on your system, which can then be configured to have an IP address on that network. Then just set up NAT2 to forward 5900 to Home_1. After doing the ssh,you should have something that configures the tun device, and set up a route. Then you just vnc directly to NAT2. Ok, its overkill for this application, but maybe someone else will think of a good place to use this new feature of OpenSSH. -- Jay Kline http://www.slushpupie.com/
