ssh to new ip...
Hi, I'm moving my new freebsd 5.3 box to a new static ip address and I'm worried that once I put it at the isp, I won't be able to ssh to it or anything. Right now it's still at home and has dhcp. I'm not able to ssh from my windoze box over to it thru my router. I'm getting a connection refused error. Trying to ssh from another box on the net isn't successful either. The operation times out. I am able to ssh to that address from the box itself tho. Is this a firewall issue or maybe more of a thing with my dhcp provider? How can I tell?

Hmm...from home, visit http://www.whatismyip.com Go to work (or whatever the remote site is) and nmap that ip address ssh open? You could also pay a visit to http://www.dyndns.org, set up an account (it's free) and set a client on your freebsd box to update the ip address as it changes to make sure you're always able to get through.

If it works without them, it's a firewall issue. :-) Roland -- R.F.Smith (http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/) Please send e-mail as plain text. public key: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/pubkey.txt pgpSr7z9RtzRf.pgp Description: PGP signature

I love derogatory references to software vendors. Never-the-less, DHCP has nothing to do with port redirection commonly, and I highly doubt it has anything to do with this one. Try opening your Linksys/Dlink/etc. SoHo router via HTTP in your favorite browser, and forwarding port 22 or whatever your SSH port of choice is, to your FreeBSD box. I imagine your setup is something like this. Internet - Router - LAN (Windows, FreeBSD, etc.) You have to forward the port from the Internet, through your router, and into a local box on your LAN. You could also edit the DMZ setting on your router so that the FreeBSD box, or perhaps any other box on your LAN receives all ports automatically. Lastly: How can I tell? See that blue/grey box connected to your modem? Your ISP will tell you the exact same thing. It's a configuration issue on your end, since you're using a router. I'd suggest some RTFM'ing. -- -Tomas Quintero ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
