RE: bindaddress

Ben,

Thanks for the answer. The -g option binds the forwarded port to ALL available IPs on the PC/SERVER. I wanted to have this bind be selective. i.e. bind the local forwarded port xxxx to IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and bind local forwarded port yyyy to IP yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

I don't think it's possible!!??

Ashkan.

Your usage of -b. -b does not affect -L. -b is for selecting what your *OUTBOUND* address will be. Are you looking for -g option?

Do you need help?
