New Post: Port Forwarding and Java application launch

Hello all, first of all thank you for this great community, I am learning a lot as I go. I am by no means a programmer by trade, I write code with a means to and end approach, and so any solution I came to is usually far from elegant. I also do not know much about the various ways to debug but I will try to pull together as much information for those willing to help as I can. Also, I apologize for any incorrect use of jargon.

The problem I am having is with, as the title suggests, Port Forwarding and launching a Java application. I am able to successfully create an ssh tunnel to my server with the following code.

                        pubfile = new PrivateKeyFile("C:\\System Apps\\" + _SSHkeyfile, _SSHpassword);
                        sshclient = new SshClient(_HostURI, _SSHPort, _SSHusername, pubfile);
                        sshclient.Connect();
                        forport1 = new ForwardedPortLocal("127.0.0.1", 65088, "127.0.0.1", 8088);
                        forport2 = new ForwardedPortLocal("localhost", 65088, "localhost", 8088);
                        sshclient.AddForwardedPort(forport1);
                        sshclient.AddForwardedPort(forport2);
                        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000 * 1);
                        forport1.Exception +=new EventHandler<ExceptionEventArgs>(forport1_Exception);
                        forport1.Start();
                        forport2.Start();

I know it's working because the server hosts a webpage at 127.0.0.1:65088, and I am able to load firefox and navigate to said page and click through any number of links that reside on the page. However whenever I try to launch a Java application, the application is able to download to my local computer but when the application runs I receive the following error.

System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
at Renci.SshNet.Session.WaitOnHandle(WaitHandle waitHandle)
at Renci.SshNet.Channels.Channel.Close(Boolean wait)
at Renci.SshNet.Channels.ChannelDirectTcpip.Close()
at Renci.SshNet.ForwardedPortLocal.<>c__DisplayClass3.<InternalStart>b__2()

from the ForwardedPortLocal ExceptionEventArgs and this error

System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Send(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags)
at Renci.SshNet.Channels.ChannelDirectTcpip.InternalSocketSend(Byte[] data)
at System.EventHandler`1.Invoke(Object sender, TEventArgs e)
at Renci.SshNet.Session.MessageListener()

from the SshClient ExceptionEventArgs.

What's interesting is that I was able to load the java application 1 time, and every time since then I get a "Connection Refused" as reported by the Java application.

I am able to use Putty to connect and load the Java application with no problems.

Any and all help is much appreciated, thanks!
