\H{using-port-forwarding} Using \i{port forwarding} in SSH
The SSH protocol has the ability to forward arbitrary network
remote-to-local port forwardings (so that machines other than the
SSH server machine can connect to the forwarded port.) Note that
this feature is only available in the SSH 2 protocol, and not all
-SSH 2 servers support it (OpenSSH 3.0 does not, for example).
+SSH 2 servers honour it (in OpenSSH, for example, it's usually
+disabled by default).
You can also specify an \i{IP address} to listen on. Typically a
Windows machine can be asked to listen on any single IP address in
support it for remote-to-local ports, while SSH2 can support it in
theory but servers will not necessarily cooperate.
+(Note that if you're using Windows XP Service Pack 2, you may need
+to obtain a fix from Microsoft in order to use addresses like
+\cw{127.0.0.5} - see \k{faq-alternate-localhost}.)
