Strange problem. I have two debian machines, one local at home, and
one remote somewhere. At home I am connected behind a NAT, and the
remote machine has a public IP.

I want to run iceweasel on the remote machine, and let it display on
my local machine. I have iceweasels installed on both machines.

So from the local machine I do:

ssh -Cv user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -X

After a while I get a prompt of the remote machine, looks OK, ls gives
me listing of files on that machine.

env shows DISPLAY=localhost:10.0

So I run 'iceweasel' there. And after some time I get it displayed,
but... it seems that it runs it somehow on my local machine, for
example file:///
displays the root directory of my local machine, not the remote one,
and when I browse, with tcpdump I see HTTP traffic, and not SSH
traffic as I expected.

I don't understand it. How I am supposed to run iceweasel on the
remote machine (using only the local display), so it would work as it
would be sitting at the remote machine?


Is iceweasel already running on the local machine when you start
iceweasel on the remote machine? If so, then the remote instance opens
a new window in the local instance, then exits. You can prevent that
behaviour by closing the local instance first, or by launching the
remote instance with the '-no-remote' option.
