[Gllug] Can I get this to work?

[Adrian McMenamin]

Most weeks I spend three or four days working in a building where everything 
is firewalled out except for proxied connections. In other words if I try to 
run an ssh client I can neither resolve names nor even connect when I use the 
dotted numbers.

However I can use the provided browser (which has some sort of proxy 
connection - which I can guess at) to connect to any port on any real world 
machine eg attempting to access http://mymachine.org.uk:22 will put an sshd 
version string up in my browser window etc.


Now, all I want to do is connect to my box at home and run kmail over port 
forwarded X. I have an X server on the client side (cygwin). Can I solve 
this? Asking for changes in the firewall configuration isn't an option.
