I am trying to do dynamic portforwarding using openssh through a remote computer following this command:
ssh -D 6789 rohan@<remote_ip> -p <remote_port>
This should set up a socks server on my comp as I assume.
I am able to use this for normal browsing but can't connect to IRC or remote ssh (through proxychains).
I get this error:
channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
A high verbosity level output of the error:
$ debug1: Connection to port 6789 forwarding to socks port 0 requested.
debug2: fd 9 setting TCP_NODELAY

I googled for this too, but couldn't find any solutions.

@dcrodjer: Then it's a problem with your server itself, not related to SSH. Have you checked the firewall(s)? tried different ports? tried SSL connections? – user1686 – 2011-01-28T12:58:18.680
actually the above same config works with my friends comp...same distro....I guess it should be due to some comps config....Currently the remote comp is off, will share the output of
nmap
on localhost when its back. – crodjer – 2011-01-28T14:27:36.537@dcrodjer: If you are unable to connect to Freenode from the server (you haven't told me yet), then it's not caused by SSH. I doubt
nmap
ing the server would help, too -- after all, you are connecting to Freenode, not tolocalhost
