@scottalanmiller Im also trying to get gitlab to work and its on port 81... I just want to type it gitlab.gaultnetwork.com and get to the server...

Then you need it to be on port 80. Non-standard ports cannot be specified without putting them into the browser. it would be like sending someone to an apartment complex but not telling them the apartment number.

Well it only took nearly all day to understand what @johnhooks and @scottalanmiller where talking about... but now I do.

It works because the RDS client is not pointing to yourservername.domain.com or even your internal IP address.

Instead the RDS client is told to use localhost or 127.0.0.1. The local machine then, through a forwarder put in place by PuTTY sends all traffic destine for PuTTY assigned port to PuTTY and PuTTY forwards the traffic over the tunnel to port 3389 at the address set in the SSL -L command previously run.

OK I understand.

@RamblingBiped I have tried that many times, maybe the build was updated recently to fix this issue...

Definitely use the latest build for the best results. The installer should be running from CentOS, so the issue would likely be there.

They were located in the BIOS so an image would have no affect. The BIOS loaded the drivers even if you reimaged.

Exactly. Security requires trust. There is no means to being reasonably secure and using Lenovo. The two simply can't go together.
