Remote ssh = Connection Timed Out

http://forums.opensuse.org – I've got sshd running on my home machine, and can start an ssh connection from any of the other computers on my home network. However, I can't connect to it from my office computer (or any other computer outside my home LAN). When I try, I get a "connection timed out" error. I've setup my router to forward port 22, and have it opened in the firewall. Is there something I'm missing that I need to enable to allow ssh access from outside the LAN? I don't have access to my office router, so I'm unable to forward port 22 on the "client" computer. Is (Distributions)

Stories similar to Remote ssh = Connection Timed Out

I have a network that connects my office and home together. The home system has a cable 10Meg service, and from this router (192.168.2.1) a cable goes to the office router (192.168.1.1). Attached to each router are an HP Laserjet 4100 on 2.1(home) and a Phaser 860 on 1.1.(office)

From my office computer I can access both printers using TCP/IP.

Since my ISP restricts some incoming connections, I can't access remotely to my home pc.

What I'm trying to do is make a reverse ssh connection from my home's router with Tomato firmware to the office computer, so I can access remotely from the office with that open connection.

What I'm doing is running the following from the router:

ssh -R 12345:localhost:22 oUser@office

Then I leave run top

Very recently I have started to write python scripts that need to connect few databases on mySQL server. The problem is that when I work from office my script works fine but running a script from my home while on office VPN generates connection error.

I also noticed the mySQL client Squirrel also cannot connect from my home but works fine on Office computer.

Hi, I've been trying to set up a sftp connection to my n810 tablet (running openssh on maemo linux) so I can connect to it from my ubuntu laptop. The tablet is connected to internet through wifi.

I've installed the client on the laptop, opened port 22 for the n810 on my router and started the ssh server.

Previously, I only had one machine on my home network with an ssh tunnel, so when i connected to my home network via ssh from another location, it would automatically connect to the right machine. i( set my router to redirect ssh requests to that computers LAN IP)

Now that I have multiple machines with ssh tunnels on my home network, the connection is refused.

Hello,

I`m having problems with my broadband connection. The computer can connect to my router and other computers in my network and all the other computers can access this computer. But I have no internet connection.

I am trying to figure out the best way to get shell access to a machine behind a network that I don't own. If the machine were on my home network, I would just forward port 22 and all would be well, but I don't have that kind of access on this other network.

Hello, I have Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) 64-bit. To connect to an ftp site I click on "Dash Home" and insert the ftp address. I am then asked to enter my username and password. This works all fine, I managed to login and see the files on the ftp.

I'm trying to run the command "telnet s1.runtime.heroku.com 5000". I get an error message "unable to connect to remote host: no route to host".

I have set port forwarding for the application "heroku" on port 5000, to my machine's static ip address. I am running ubuntu 11.04, on a home wireless network connected to a DSL router.
