SSH Session entry fails in PuTTY
Submitted by squarepegger on Fri, 2008-06-20 13:26.
Oh how I wish posted instructions would work! I'd love to listen to my Pandora stations while traveling overseas.
In PuTTY, after the "Connections > SSH > Tunnels" bit, I get D8080 in the 'forwarded ports' box. When I go to "Session" and enter 'www.pandora.com' in the host name, leaving Port number as 22 because I don't know what else to use,
I am NOT prompted for a username and password and don't know how to make that happen. If I click the 'Open' button, I get a window with a black background for a few seconds, then a dialog box that says: "Network error: Connection refused"
Configuring Firefox 3.0 to use a SOCKS proxy on "127.0.0.1" and port "8080" just means I can't connect to anything after I do it.
Can anyone tell me how to make this work?
