Connect ipython-notebook via SSH tunnel from a rem

Question

I'm trying to open an ipython-notebook (which is running on a server) on a macbook from a remote location through an ssh tunnel but no data received. This is the command for the SSH tunnel

ssh -L 5558:localhost:5558 -N -t -x  user@remote-host

and this is the command I used to lunch the notebook form the server

ipython notebook --pylab=inline --port=5558 --ip=* --no-browser --notebook-dir notebooks

Than I tried to open it on a new tab with this remote-host:5558 but no data received. Thanks in advance!

The directive -L AAAA:somehost:BBBB will cause SSH to listen on port AAAA on localhost (the machine the ssh command is run on) and forward any connection to that port, over the SSH session, to the host somehost port BBBB. So, you need to open http://localhost:5558/ in the browser on the machine you run the ssh command on.
