Another approach is to forward 4200 on the PC to 4243. On a PC this is done in the putty configuration.

So i used VMWare and fired up Windows and used Putty.

In the SSH > Tunnels> Added
Source port: 4200
Destination: localhost:4243
> Clicked Add

On the forwarded ports text box it showed:
'L4200 localhost:4243'

Then i clicked open and logged in normally.

I ran the 'netstat -na | grep LISTEN | grep 4' into the putty session again and no output showing port forwarded to 4243!!

In the Putty session i tried switch the local host to
i) my ip
Ii) the hostname

And each time i run the netstat command it doesn't show any port forwarded?
Should it show the port forwarded at all?

If i use the linux command as per CrashPlan - i seem to be the only doofus that shows a port 4200 instead of 4243 inthe netstat command output. Ugh! Hope this is clear to the geniuses out there!
