Secure remote access to a Mac from Windows
I thought that too but I couldn't get things to work without forwarding 5900 as well. I use NAT at home I'm not sure if that has something to do with it.

You should be able to forward any port even if you have NAT enabled. You need to use static IP addresses on your home network. You can forward port 5900 from the local machine to any port on your firewall. All you need to do is set aside a port that corresponds to each local machine.
You set your WinDoze ssh client to forward localhost:5900 to any machine you want to connect to. Home Firewall Home Machine 12.12.12.1:5000 10.1.1.50:5900 12.12.12.1:5001 10.1.1.51:5900 12.12.12.1:5002 10.1.1.52:5900The only problem you might have is the proxy server blocking your WinDoze ssh client. I take classes at the local college and get tired of their goal to save me from the evil Internet and do this all the time. I chat and connect to my Macs at home and work to surf sites that are blocked.

The work proxy server does block port 22 but PuTTY can be setup to go through the proxy. |
