6:00 AM

I have this command

compA$ssh -N -R 40500:127.0.0.1:5900 root@IPofVPS

and this command

compB$ssh -v -N -L 1231:127.0.0.1:40500 root@IPofVPS

And from CompB, I connect TightVNC viewer to 127.0.0.1:1231 , TightVNC prompts me with a password, I enter it, and it connects to and views compA. But sometimes, TightVNC Viewer doesn't prompt me with a password.

So I go to CompA, ctrl-c. And I go to compB, ctrl-c. Then I use the command history to re-enter the the ssh -R line on compA. And then the ssh -L line on CompB and I connect VNC viewer again, and it's fine. Thing is, I might drive…

@andrew.46 iirc win 9x will work on virtualbox

or was it VMware

you can probably run them atop wine as wlel?

emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Windows_95/98/ME_emulators seems like a possibility too

barlop

win98 would run on either virtualbox or vmware.. virtualbox is free, vmware is considered better for having better networking capabilities. Vmware has a free version(vmwaer player), and a non free version(vmware workstation).

@barlop I vaguely recall win98 havingissues with some emulators

or was I getting it confused with OS/2 ....

barlop

not sure if i've run win98 on an emulator.. maybe could make a difference how old the emulator is though htoo.. e.g. if it was done in the XP days then it probably would have been no issue

@JourneymanGeek You would think that should be easy :). I have battled for hours with VirtualBox and VMWare Player with most variations of Windows with only patchy success...

Journeyman Geek

easy, no

have a hope of running...
