How to access a device connected to a different computer using the IP Address
I have a device connected via ethernet cable to one computer (PC-1).
I know the IP Address of the device.
I know the IP Address of the computer (PC-1) also and I can
sshinto that computer (PC-1) from my computer (PC-2) without a problem.The problem is, the Firefox version on that computer (PC-1) is too old, to configure the device.
How can I access from my firefox on (PC-2), the device connected to that other computer (PC-1)?
And this computer (PC-2) does not have the correct cabling that would allow me to connect the device directly to it.
Firefox on PC-2 ----> PC-1 (IP known) ----> device (IP known)
linux networking firefox ssh-tunnel

If I knew what to try, I would've tried it already. "What have you tried so far?" is an oft repeated comment on SO. I understand the frustration of contributors when being overburdened by school-assignment posts. But sometimes you don't know even where to start. So yes, @DougDeden, I've tried till now nothing. And this is my first shot in dark to see what comes up.

The best way to do it is to connect to the device via an SSH tunnel trough PC-1. So, on PC-2, you can make the tunnel with :
# SSH -L <inPort>:<deviceIP>:<outPort> <userPC-1>@<IP-PC-1>
with :
- inPort : a random free port on PC-2 (80 or 8080 for example)
- deviceIp : IP address of the device, this address need to be reachable by PC-1
- outPort : The port to connect to the device (80 i guess)
- userPC-1 : A user on PC-1 to connect via SSH (the one you used)
- IP-PC-1 : IP address of PC-1n this address need to be reachable by PC-2
After you established this tunnel, you will be able to connect to the device on PC-2 wia the URL
http://localhost:<inPort>/
for example, if the service you want to contact on device is on port 80 and have the address of 192.168.1.10, PC-1 have address of 192.168.2.10 (PC-2 network) and 192.168.1.11 (Device network) and can be accessed with the login marcus. You can enter the following command on PC-2
# SSH -L 8080:192.168.1.10:80 marcus@192.168.2.10
and access the service by entering the following URL on PC-2
http://localhost:80

Computer 1- old machine w/ device attached

ssh -L9090:ip.of.device:port_device_listens_on user@computer1
So if the Device is at 10.0.2.15 and listening on port 7000 it would bea
ssh -L9090:10.0.2.15:7000 user@computer1
Log in and authenticate, then simply open a browser on your local machine and go to http://localhost:9090

Welcome to SuperUser. What have you tried so far?

If I knew what to try, I would've tried it already. "What have you tried so far?" is an oft repeated comment on SO. I understand the frustration of contributors when being overburdened by school-assignment posts. But sometimes you don't know even where to start. So yes, @DougDeden, I've tried till now nothing. And this is my first shot in dark to see what comes up.
