Hmmm, from your post and the tests I did, the problem could be somewhere
else, so. I have a local lan, and running from my laptop (homelaptop)
the following command :
ssh -X homeserver -p 5317
it works fine, but the auth log file on the "server", shows a connection
from computer homelaptop with ip 192.168.1.12. So I wonder whether or
not the ssh connection is thru the local network only or thru the
internet first, then thru my local network.
Then, the pb could come from my router, and its configuration. Francois
