As the title suggests, anyone know how to set putty to tunnel through to a pc on a network which has been set to DMZ on a netgear router? Is this possible?
I have the ASDL port IP. And the specific computer IP address too.
Should I maybe be using the gateway IP?

Anyhelp much appreciated!
 
Not sure about Netgear specifics, but I'm able to tunnel through the internet to my Smoothwall's public IP address using putty as follows:
- ip address (actually I use a dynamic DNS hostname) and port number 222 (this is specific to smoothwall - you should probably use 22)
Connection > SSH > Tunnels:
- local port 222, destination my.dns.name:222
If you need https access you might also forward local port 443 to localhost:443

The target PC's address is a public IP address, isn't it? Otherwise this is never going to work.
