The first link looks fairly useful.
Stroller.
That helped a lot. I have a high-number port on the router forwarding
to one of my systems. How can I access the forwarded-to service from
a random point on the Internet? I need something static to represent
my router on the Internet. I've tried using the IP address that is
used for me externally when I'm browsing but it doesn't work. I use
cable internet service and I think that IP address is used for many
different customers.
I have heard of ISPs NATting their customers, but I think it would be
pretty unusual these days. Does the high-port forwad to port 22 on
your PC? Or is the PC listening for ssh? See /etc/ssh/sshd_config for
that one.
How are you testing ssh'ing to your external IP address? Doing so
from inside the LAN won't work - you're better port-scanning yourself
by visiting Shields Up! at http://grc.com
You can get a hostname which will resolve to your dynamic IP at
http://dyndns.com - there are some free utilities which you can run
to do the updating.
