Hi, I've running port forwarding in WindowsXP as well as Windows Vista by using autossh, running as a service, installed by cygrunsrv.
cygrunsrv -I service-tunnel -f "secure tunnel for service" \ -n -t auto -y tcpip -O -u $priv_user -w $priv_pwd -p /bin/nice \ -a "-n 10 /bin/autossh -R 12345:localhost:22 \ -M 0 -N -C -i /etc/ssh/id_rsa -p 24 u...@server.domain.at My problem is: If the client have a dialin connection to an internet provider, the internet connection isn't established when the autossh service will be started. Therefore I get an error message: ssh: Could not resolve hostname server.domain.at: no address associated with name How to configure/install the service wether in a way that he waits for an established internet connection or in a way that he try again until the hostname can be resolved? If autossh is started succesfull and I disconnect the internet connection, autossh will try again and again until the connection is established again. But autossh do not start if the hostname can not be resolved.
