Hi Tom, It's going to take a bit more information to get to the bottom of your problem.

Rather than turning off the anti-DDoS feature in the router, suggested workaround is to a) forward a different port to the ssh port of the internal machine and b) use public key authentication only. > I have mythtv computer connected to a bigpond wireless router via the > ethernet cable (though it could be the WIFI network WPA timing out) Check /var/log/syslog on the mythtv system to see if there are wifi disconnects. There could be wireless problems due to channel interference. I know a lot of bad router firmware selects a random 2.4 GHz channel rather than limiting itself to one of the non-overlapping ones (1, 6, 11). My neighbourhood is so crowded with badly-configured 2.4 GHz wifi that i bought myself a dual-band router (Netgear WNDR3700) so that i could guarantee a band free of interference. (5 GHz has 23 non-overlapping channels.) > ever time I conect to the network with a laptop, I can access the > internet, access the mythtv web interface, rsync the video to my laptop > I leave with everything working..... > > tom_a_sparks > "It's a nerdy thing I like to do" > PS: I have give up with bigponds tech support You and everyone else in the known universe. :-) Unless there is no other option, i always disrecommend Bigpond. > PSS: I have no access to the router as it is in a different state If that is the case, it would be advisable to set up a VPN (i use OpenVPN) or an ssh port forward which would allow you to get to the router's internal interface securely via your external connection. Hope this has given you some ideas. Regards, Paul
