cant ssh to a home server open a gprs connection using proxy
 
hello everyone,
i am trying to figure out y i can not ssh connect to my home server from the internet... the specific client connection is carried out using a gprs modem and i connect through my isp through an http proxy server...

ssh nass@myhomeserver.no-ip.org -p80
gets me the following error:
FATAL: failed to begin relaying via HTTP
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

ehat is this? how should i tackle it?

route -n returns:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.6.6.6 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
ppp0
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0
ppp0

the nameservers belong to another ISP but it shouldnt really matter...

if i establish the connection using wvdial i get to have internet on firefox, but if i try to connect to ssh at home it fails to connect..

nslookup and dig fail to do name resolution too...
any ideas?

Have a look into /var/log/messages on the ssh server. If you don't find any helpful messages increase the log level in /etc/ssh/sshd_conf and check the log file again.

i don't think the attempt to establish an ssh connection ever reaches the openssh server (which btw is a slackware 11 machine)..

raising the LogLevel in the client side though (an ubuntu 8.04 laptop) gives this...:

on the client side /var/log/messages doesn't give any additional info either...

in /etc/ssh/ssh_config on the client (ubuntu) side i have added support to connect through the mobile service provider proxy server

ProxyCommand connect-proxy -H 192.168.200.10:9401 %h %p
if i try the connect-proxy command stand alone i get the following debug output:

i strongly believe it has to do with the dns server queries... i have used a couple of valid nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf but they are from another internet service provider... and yet i have internet in firefox if i just enable proxy server through the connection settings...

the routing table looks like:
Quote:
root@starlight:/etc/ssh# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.6.6.6 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
0.0.0.0 10.6.6.6 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
root@starlight:/etc/ssh#

please notice that there can't be a problem with the ssh configurations, since whenever i am @ home, and connect this laptop to the internet through my home wifi, i obviously connect everywhere (without using the proxy command of course)...

hope this helps abit
