Hi there,

I have been trying to create an SSH tunnel to a friend's home computer as I cannot access certain ports with my apartment complex ISP. We set it up via. this tutorial. She is running OS X and I am running Windows 8. I am unable to connect via putty or the command prompt when I type ssh -R 2210:localhost:22 SERVERADDRESS but I am able to ping SERVERADDRESS.

Any help you can give is much appreciated.

Hey
Can you connect to your friend computer with SSH at all? What error do you get from the Putty?

If she is using a router on your home then the SSH port should be forwarded to her computer first, and then SSH connections should be allowed too.

If you can't connect from Putty then you need to deal with that...
