Hi Robert,

Could you check that you can telnet to localhost port 2201 on the client? 
If not, then it's something wrong with your port forwarding. I assumed
that the machine you were connecting to by ssh was the same machine 
running bbstored; if not, you will need to change the ssh command line 
accordingly (change the second "server" to the IP address of the bbstored 
server).

If you can telnet to port 2201 on the client, then the problem is probably 
something in your boxbackup configuration. Did you properly configure the 
client so that it thinks the server name is "localhost"?

Do you see anything in the server's logs when the client connects? How 
about when you telnet to localhost port 2201 on the client?

Can you connect from client to server when they are on the same network?

Cheers, Chris.
