Weird (but then again not so weird) SSH problem

[SkyFlyer]

I can access my SSH server when I am on the same internal network, but when I am on the external network I cannot access SSH. Even if I put the server in the DMZ, I cannot access SSH. I know this is not a permissions issue on the router because I can access other things like mysql and port 80. Are there any settings in the sshd_config file that toggle remote access or not?


Thanks.

There's nothing that should discriminate between an internal and external connection in the config. If you can ssh to the router, then it may be confused as to which connections are coming to it and which are coming to be forwarded. Be sure if there is a setting for "allow external ssh connections" that it is off.

You could also use tcpdump to see if the connection is hitting the server, my guess it's a routing problem.
