It may even be against your corporate policy. : I'm totally new to this mailinglist so I apologise for all and any : profoundly stupid questions that I ask, but I haven't found what I was : looking for anywhere else. Here's an example of using GRE tunnels ("ip tunnel"): http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.tunnel.gre.html#AEN333 : I have one computer that sits behind a firewall and another computer : with a public IP-address outside the firewall. I would now want to set : up an ip-tunnel between these two so that they can communicate : "transparently". If you need any sort of generic tunnel through which the two hosts can communicate, you can also consider CIPE. : I'm desperate for this information as I _need_ to be able to access the : computer behind the firewall from the the one with a public ip. Have you thought of using ssh port forwarding? -Martin -- Martin A.
