I'd like to get access to a windows 7 tinderbox slave for a few days. This is in reference to bug 617503, I'm trying to figure out why our xpcshell tests run so slow.

Access would be from a remote location.

What's the ip of the slave I should connect to? Before the break aki had me try 10.12.50.164, but I'm not able to connect to that currently. Also tried name lookups on talos-r3-w7-slave03 & talos-r3-w7-003 without success.

current name server is set to

Server:  mv-ns01.mv.mozilla.com
Address:  10.250.0.21

Jim: talos-r3-w7-003.build.mozlila.org is the correct hostname, but it *should* only be accessible from the build network. 

Now that you have (temporary) build-vpn access, try logging in to build-vpn.mozilla.com. 

Assuming that works, port forwarding is your easiest path to victory. Something like this from your local machine:

ssh -L 5900:talos-r3-w7-slave003.build.mozilla.org:5900 build-vpn.mozilla.com

...should allow you to connect to the slave via VNC.

talos-r3-w7-003.build.mozilla.org, ahem.

For future reference, I ended up using putty to setup a ssh tunnel on my local port 5900 to talos-r3-w7-003.build.mozilla.org:5900. This didn't require openvpn to be setup and running.

All finished. I tweaked a lot of system settings on that image so it should be restored to normal state before being put into use.

Machine that had been used has been re-imaged.
