hi

i'm trying to set up sshd over here so i can work on this machine when i'm at work and stuff.

ssh user@127.0.0.1 works fine

xxxx@ ~ $ ssh -vvv user@`ip`
OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to 67.186.xxx.xxx [67.186.xxx.xxx] port 22.
debug1: connect to address 67.186.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection timed out
ssh: connect to host 67.186.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection timed out

i have a firewall on my router, port 22 is forwarded and connections to port 22 are allowed. does anybody know what's going on and how i fix it??

thanks

Are connections to port 22 allowed on the remote box?

the "remote box" is the server

what i'm doing is: running sshd on my laptop here, trying to connect to my laptop (from same laptop) via my external ip address. instead of

ssh asdf@127.0.0.1 i'm typing ssh asdf@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and it doesn't work

i also tried typing that from an actual remote machine and it times out. i think it's something with my firewall on the router?? port 22 is allowed across the board so this doens't make sense.

ok as i thought the issue was with the router. i restored the factory settings on it and setup a port forward thingy for ssh on 22 and it works great now.

Put
"ssh_connect: needpriv 0"
into Google Linux(http://www.google.com/linux?q=%22ssh...+needpriv+0%22), there are some interesting things there.

Now for some counter Q's:[list=1][*]It works connecting to itself, it doesn't work over the 'Net, did you try it on your LAN?[*]What is the router?[*]How sure are you that it is fwd'ing?[*]Still using Ubuntu?[/list=1]
