Assuming 'port forwarding' is the same as 'port redirection' on D-Link modem-routers (a sort-of reverse NAT), then I've enabled TCP packets to pass through to 192.168.0.2 on port 22... but it hasn't helped. I've also tried enabling 'DMZ state' and making 192.168.0.2 the DMZ IP address... but again, to no avail. In both cases scp just says 'connection refused'. No matter because I've found another way. Emacs users should check out tramp mode if they haven't heard of it. Thanks all. sdt _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
