I am running a service on windows I need my clients to connect to. The service works but traffic is unencrypted. As such I set up cygwin and sshd. I can ssh in and then telnet on the loclhost (windows sever at this point) and it works. When I set up the port forward from my clients it also works. But when I try to push traffic down the tunnel I get the error. Error is the same on windows and linux clients. On 1/7/11, Judd Pickell wrote: > Are you on the same network?
