Okay CTwuggers, here is a nice trick for accessing wug services from a computer that is connected to the internet but not the wug (you know, like your work desktop ).

What you will need …

1. PuTTY

2. Access to a SSH server with a public internet IP and wug access. (I’m sure if you ask nicely Mufasa or Rellik might be able to help you).

3. The IP and port of the service you want to access.

What you need to do …

1. In putty under session enter your host name (in my case serv1.rellik.za.net).

2. Make sure the SSH radio button is selected.

3. Under connection->ssh->tunnels enter the Source port you want to use on your local machine (in my case port 1234).

4. In the Destination field type in the IP and port of the service you are going to access. (in my case the IP is 172.18.129.18 and the port 80).

5. Click the Add button.

6. Click the Open buton.

7. Log into the SSH server.

8. Access the service by pointing to your localhost and selected port.

And thats it.
