Dear friends,

I Have installed fedora 14 on my PC and had set up LAN when i tries to connect linux using ssh connection i am able to conect it but when i tries to connect from outside my network(Say from my office or from netcafe) i was not able to connect. i was not even able to ping my server but after some investigation i found that smb server configuration and ssh_config changes now i am able to ping my server. but when i tried to connect using Putty it is accepting user but when i enter right password it says access denied.

Please help me to connect my server outside my network.

quick help would appreciative

Basheer.

The problem is almost certainly a firewall.

You need to open port 22 on your LAN's firewall, and make sure your NAT directs port 22 to your server running sshd.

port 22 is open but still not working.

can any one help me how to access my server from outside my lan

please provide me solution step by step

"port 22 is open" *where*???

You probably have a software firewall (iptables) on your Linux host.

You probably also have a firewall on your DSL or Cable modem (whatever you're using for Internet connectivity).

Port forwarding needs to be configured to point to your actual host.

Etc.

You need to find - and check - everything on your LAN between the Internet and your sshd daemon.
