I sent this email to the author last night. Today after doing more
research to try to fix my problem I found this list, so I am posting it
here.

Thanks for any advice you can give that can help!

Thank you so much for creating this. I really appreciate it.

I did notice an issue with plink. I'm creating a batch file that will
create a couple of ssh tunnels for web browsing and checking my email.
I'm adding tunnels.bat to the auto run and right click drive menu of
the drive so that they will automatically connect when I plug the drive
in. Once I run this batch file, plink starts minimized. I can type
commands on my connected Linux box with no problems. When I try to
telnet to localhost ports 7777 and 7778 these ports aren't listening.
When I replace the plink on my usb drive that is provided here:
http://socialistsushi.com/portaputty.zip with this one:
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/plink.exe everything
works as expected.

I did notice that the tunnels created via putty.exe that is provided by
portaputty work fine as well. I'm not sure if they use the same code
or not.

I'm not complaining, I'm very appreciative. If you do get a chance to
figure this out at your convenience, can you send me an email when you
do? I really wish I had the programming skills to try to figure it out
myself.


Batch file (tunnels.bat):
@echo off
start "SSH Tunnels" /min S:\Documents\Storage\PortaPutty\plink.exe
<internet host> -ssh -l <login> -pw <password> -L 7777:
192.168.10.1:8088 -L 7778:192.168.10.2:143

Thank you so much!
