Thanks again for your help! It's working great now. I can copy files from my WinXP box to my Mac and vice versa.

The only thing I can't get working is the tunneling for my browsers. The error is "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.7 Protocol mismatch." I'm sure I'll figure it out though - it's got to be somewhere in the settings, right?

You need to use PuTTY instead of iTerm when on Windows. You need to run your private key through PuTTY KeyGen to convert it to a PuTTY compatible format.

Then things like WinSCP can use the same PuTTY converted private key to file copy (Cyberduck equivalent) to your mac from your pc. http://winscp.net/eng/index.php

Hi George,
I'm loving the screencasts! Great job!

I have another question though... Is it possible to copy the private key created on my Mac to a Windows box and connect from it?

I've tried to replicate the SFTP/SSH steps on my Windows XP SP2 machine (from a remote location) without luck. I'm using the id_rsa file created on my Mac and have tried several different WinXP SFTP clients, all with the same result - my home Mac is (actively) refusing the connection. I'm pretty sure I have all the settings correct, hence my question above.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If there's a forum I should be posting this to instead of the comments, please point me to it.

Thank you.

Try putting it in transparent bridging mode. http://www.qwest.com/internethelp/modems/gt701/...

Then let your extreme act as the router.

Or forward all 1-65535 ports to your extreme.

All other details on that unit.

Any tips or hints on how to setup my DSL modem to forward the ports correctly to my Airport Extreme? I seem to be able to ssh to my box via the internal network, but when I try to access it via the external IP address I get a "Connection Refused" message.

I have an Actiontec GT701 (non-wireless) DSL modem. I've searched for hours for a solution and can't seem to get this resolved.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
