[ale] port forwarding with nc

[James P. Kinney III]

More stuff:

established an ssh tunnel from A to B with:
ssh -fNL 26150:machineB:26150 machineB &

now try to simply connect netcat to the localhost port 26150:
nc localhost 26150

I get the error message:

channel 1: open failed: connect failed: No route to host

????? I'm connecting to localhost. ?!?!?!?!?
