Im using putty at home, I connect easily, no problem.
Now, I'm at work behind a firewall I suppose, what I can say is that to connect to internet I use a proxy (that I can guess from checking LAN parmeters in Internet options in IE)
So I try to configure Putty to connect to my computer at home through this proxy.
As stated in the putty manual :
so in the proxy hostname I type the ip of my proxy, port 23, option Telnet.Many firewalls implement a less formal type of proxy in which a user can make a Telnet connection directly to the firewall machine and enter a command such as connect myhost.com 22 to connect through to an external host. Selecting "Telnet" allows you to tell PuTTY to use this type of proxy
Now when I click on Open in putty interface, after having put my home IP (yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy) and the port I configured in the telnet.ini (port 23), I have the following screen :
In putty proxy configuration there's a field Telnet command : connect %host %port\nRed Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche)
Kernel x.X.xx-xx.X on an i686
login: connect yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy 23
Password:
It seems to pass this command in the login ...
Maybe it's not the right command to connect to my ip at home..
I certainly miss something obvious but after some research I'm not able to find a solution.
Does I need an username and password from my system administrator ?
