But does that make sense?
Hmmm I don't know of any rule.. or at least I have not been bitten by it I regularly use ssh for long distance laggy connections. The error doesn't sound like one RHEL-5 would send back so I am not sure what is causing that. The main things that would be stopping it are: 1) Company firewall. 2) IPtables only allowing local network connections 3) tcp_wrappers only allowing local network connections 4) some routing issue... where outside of the network you aren't really getting to your desktop. > The frustrating thing is that a few months ago (when I last attempted > this) I was able to log in remotely from my laptop, even from across > the pacific. > > Thanks, > > Mirko > > _______________________________________________ > rhelv5-list mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list > -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- BSD/GNU/Linux How far that little candle throws his beams!
