Why isn’t NFS over SSH transparent to NFS

Enter in all the connection information on the main putty screen. Sounds like you will be using port 443 instead of 22 to connect from the outside. Then go to the Tunnels section and put in 5092 for the Source port. Put in localhost:5900 for the destination. Leave the radio buttons to Local and Auto. Click Add so it shows up in the list and then open up the connection

When you open up the connection, you will have access to "localhost:5900" from the perspective of the server. You can access it from your local port 5092.

To connect to the server using vnc, plug in localhost:5092 for the host.

When upgrading to a newer Dlink Router, I had the problem of no longer being able to connect to SQL SVR between computers on my network (plugged into the Dlink Router).

I found the solution on this forum.

Disabling "Advanced DNS Service". Enabled is the default.

(Setup > Internet > Manual Internet Connection Setup > Advanced DNS Service)

According to the post that I found, it also resolves difficulties connecting RDP. The was some speculation that the SQL SVR connection requests were being sent out to OpenDNS thus preventing the desired connection.

For SQL SVR 2008, there is some additional Surface area configuration needed to allow connections including connections to named instances.

Note that with Open DNS turned on, you can enable local SQL SVR connections using the port forwarding settings of the Dlink Router. If you turn off Open DNS, the port forwarding settings are not required for connections between computers on your network. If you want to allow SQL SVR connections from the Internet to computers on your DLink Network, you need to configure this in Virtual Server settings (not Port Forwarding). Both Port forwarding and Virtual Server are found on the advanced tab.

My Router is less than a year old (DIR 655)
