remote port forwarding unstable

[Adriana Rodean]

Thank you all for your replies :)

This is the command i use: ssh -L 30300:localhost:8080 -R
1026:localhost:55555  -F ssh_config -N ipp at 10.55.40.120
And i close the ssh process by closing the windows console, or by
killing the ssh process from another application. Either way when i
look in processes list after closing ssh process is gone when i try to
reconnect again.

I guess that's the explanation suggested above why sometimes it
doesn't allow me to reconnect with same port, TCP connection staying
in a wait state even after previous ssh client process terminates and
it keeps that remote port busy.
Maybe that's why it didn't showed with "netstat -an" command.
Next time i will use the other commands suggested :)

Thank you again,
Adriana
