Remote SSH


I used to be able to use remote desktop and SSH to my home computer from work but once I changed my cable modem for the wireless router version I can't do that anymore. I lost all server abilites on my computer for anything. Games included. Is there anyway I can still do this or do I need to go back to the regular cable modem?

The router is probably performing NAT (network address translation) which blocks you from doing this. You'll need to use port forwarding or a DMZ to make this work.

I checked the router settings and told it to forward port 22 to 192.168.0.12 which is what my desktop shows up as. Am I on the right track?

It didn't work after that. Is there another step?

remember to configure the ssh daemon to AllowRootLogin NO and perhaps add that only you can login( you can allow groups or users ). As an added blast of paranoia, I use non-standard ports( Normally a fixed number plus the last quadrant of an IP address as a port number ). If you have more than one network card, remember to only allow ssh on certain cards for security or else you leave the gate open. Good luck!

Umm, it should be working... are you trying to ssh to your external ip from within your lan?

You must configure the ssh daemon to listen-on 192.168.0.12. Hopefully you are using staic IP's behind the router as it gets more difficuly with dhcp.

AllowRootLogin no is a good security tip. Since only I use my machines, I assume that passwords and so forth are strong enough, so I feel good about that. But this is all discussion for another topic.

also when configuring ssh, remember to kill -9 `cat /var/run/sshd.pid` or wherever the process pid is located and the restart by usr/sbin/sshd

by ssh'ing to your ISP provided ip address, the packets should be passed to your internal box. But as well the internal box must be configured to listen.

In OpenBSD it is /etc/ssh/sshd_config, I'm sure it something similar in fedora. Do a man sshd and it will probably tell you.
