[Vortex] Telnet & SSH connections

Hi, I have a strange problem with a quite complex setup. Here is the setup:

1. I have a BEEP listening server running on remote.com in a VM listening on 192.168.22.100:44000
2. The VM uses NAT network setup. The NAT router is 192.168.22.1
3. There is a port forwarding configured from 192.168.22.1:44000 to 192.168.22.100:44000 so the beep server can be reached.
4. I have a further system mycomputer.com I work on.

Depending on what I do I can reach the BEEP server or not. These are the different approaches:

1. telnet 192.168.22.1 44000 from remote.com: This should connect to the beep server. I get a connection but the beep server doesn't recognize it as a connection.

	s1:~ developer$ telnet 192.168.22.1 44000
	Trying 192.168.22.1...
	Connected to 192.168.22.1.
	Escape character is '^]'.

After a couple of seconds the telnet connection is closed.

2. ssh -L 44000:192.168.22.1:44000 me at remote.com from mycomputer.com: This setup a SSH port forwarding from mycomputer.com:44000 via remote.com:22 to 192.168.22.1:44000

The ssh command ends in that I have a prompt for user me on remote.com. When I now use: telnet localhost 44000 (all run from me at remote.com) I get a connection and the BEEP server recognizes it.

3. Still having the SSH port forwarding from 2. up & running I now try to use: telnet localhost 44000 from mycomputer.com, which should be tunneled through SSH and forwarded to 192.168.22.1:44000 I get the same result as from 1.

I'm wondering why the BEEP server recognizes one connection via telnet but the others not? IMO all attempts should be forwarded to 192.168.22.100:44000 where the BEEP server is running.

Do you have any idea? Or how I can track this down?
