SSH port forwarding/tunneling
So this seems like something that should be simple...but I can't quite seem to get it up and running. I have a machine, .107 with a GUI on port 8443. The problem is that I can't connect directly to .107 from my laptop. Now I have another machine, .69 that can connect to .107. So shouldn't I be able to set up a tunnel from .69 to .107, and then connect to .69 in my browser and everything should work...right?

Well it's not, and I'm not sure why.

I've confirmed that there's nothing running on port 747 on .69 then ran the following:

Code:
ssh -L 747:XXX.YYY.ZZZ.107:8443 XXX.YYY.ZZZ.107

I then put XXX.YYY.ZZZ.107:747/url/stuff in my browser and it doesn't connect. Am I at least close here? Or am I doing this completely wrong?

It forwards a local port to the remote one, it doesn't intercept and hijack DNS and TCP to make the remote address talk to the local one. Try browsing to localhost:747.

Oooooh..but then I'd have to have physical access to the .69 machine right? I need to be able to hop through the .69 machine to the .107 machine.

I hope that makes sense.

So you're not running ssh on your local machine? You might need to chain another port-forward on, then.

I'm on a Windows machine, but I have ssh & Cygwin installed. I also have a Linux VM.
