I have the following problem. From machine A I connect to machine B over the internet via ssh and port forwarding. Machine B is part of my local network and has connection to machine C which acts as a server inside the LAN.

A --------- | ---- B ---- C
  INTERNET GW        LAN

Now I want to start a program on A that needs access to C without using a vpn connection. I tried ssh tunneling:

#user@A: ssh -N user@B -L 9999:B:9999

But when I start the program on A it cant connect to C. I guess it has something to do with A not having a route to C because it has only a local address (192.168.something) . How can I find out whats going wrong?

This is what you need.

#user@A: ssh -N user@B -L 9999:C:9999

When you connect from A with telnet 

#user@A: telnet localhost 9999
