SSH from private to public IP: Impossible??
Good Day, I used ssh to log-in remotely from work to my home pc which already obtained a temporary ip address from my isp, however, I failed to connect. Is it because I am ssh'ing using a pc with a private ip? I tried pinging my remote pc but no single packet returned.. I'm thinking that any other service such as ftpd or httpd will not work also, though I've not tried it yet. I've tried ftp'ing my home pc but using a public ip and it worked.. I'm not sure if it will still work from a private ip computer. Any idea? __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Something like 192.168.x.y? If so, you can't connect, that's true, if there's not a nat gateway substituting the private address by its public address in every ip packet. If you can access web pages from your private ip system, that's probably because of a proxy server in your network which fetches pages from the outside if required from within the local network.

So you're home PC has a public IP and you work PC has a private IP and is behind a NAT router? This doesn't cause problems for ssh. It more likly a firewall problem somewhere. Either you're firewall of that of the companie. -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.

Maybe I missed something in the thread, but did the OP ever say he set up port forwarding for port 22 to his internal computer? -Bart ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
