Hi,

I'm trying to do something that's supposed to be easy but I'm behind a Microsoft ISA server .

I have a Windows workstation running Xwin32 (X server like exceed) in my LAN and I'm trying to get to a Linux box that's on the internet.

I'm able to to connect via ssh1 to the linux box and of so execute this :
export DISPLAY="my.server.ip:0.0"

Theorically from what I've read , I just need to publish port TCP 6000 and UDP 177 in order for me to be able to create the X connection; but unfortunatly that doesn't work.

If anyone had any experience doing that kind of thing I would love to know how the problem had been solve ( what kind of rules and protocol definition do I have to create on the ISA server itself ).


Thanks

PS : I know that most of you would say to use a linux fw instead of MS ISA but I got no choice unfortunatly
