Hi all,

I was running some applications on a Linux machine from a remote host (Windows Xp, Service Pack2) at home, using XWin32 without any problems. The connection is done through a VPN.
Once I installed the last Xp update I got some problems. When I start the SSH connection, the host can be resolved, it tries to connect the host but it does not go any further. Hier is the code I got:

starnetssh> 803 Looking up host 192.168.1.33
starnetssh> 804 Host resolved 192.168.1.33
starnetssh> 805 Connecting to 192.168.1.33
using StarNetSSH.

I fear, the update has changed something which I'm not aware of. Some ideas to solve this problem? What should I check?

Thanks

See link at end of post about XP SP3 additional workarounds, if needed

1) Go to "Device Manager" select View and
enable "show hidden devices."
2) Expand "Non-Plug and Play Drivers" and set "Message-oriented TCP/IP and TCP/IPv6 Protocol (SMB session)" to start on demand.
3) Reboot
4) Bind port 445 with your application. I used Putty and bound my local loopback addresses on ports 139 and 445 to the tunneled IP addresses' ports 139 and 445 on the remote network.
5) Start the "Message-oriented TCP/IP and TCP/IPv6 Protocol (SMB session)" driver.
6) Browse the remote shares like you used to do before KB942624.
6) Celebrate! We just found a way around the Port forwarding 445 for SMB and SSH problem!

Hi,

thanks for your reply. Just a question about point 4. How should I bind port 445?
Using Putty should I configure it in the following way:
SSH-> Tunnels, add port 133 and 445 as new "forwarded ports" and use as "destination" the tunneled IP addresse ?
In the same menu I can check Local, Remote or Dynamic and Auto, IPv4 or IPv6? What should I check?
