SSH connection question...
Ok all you geeks... This is a tricky one...
I've got one computer (computer A) at a remote connection, which is behind a firewall/router at my friends house, and my computer at home (computer B) also behind a firewall. (but the firewall has been set up to accept and route connections properly)
I can sucessfully initiate a SSH connection from computer A to computer B. Now that I have a connection, is there any way I can use computer B to connect to computer A over the same connection somehow?
I've used SSH for many things in the past, and I'm still amazed at the new things I find I can do with it. But this one stomped me...
Any thoughts?

Try google "ssh tunneling", I think what you are trying to do is RemoteForward. HTH
