Hi, I'm trying to setup a machine to handle cvs over ssh with public-key authentication, for an open-source project. The OS is debian-testing. A linksys cable/dsl modem acts as router, switch, and NAT agent between the local network and the outside world. I have the linksys set to port-forwarding for port 22 and 'dmz' for the cvs server. Everything works as long as I'm connecting from inside the local network, even using the outside IP address. When I try to connect actually from outside, ssh -v says the initial port-forward happens, but then the connection times out. I set the timeout period in sshd_config to 1800, with no effect. I've been looking at web pages, the ssh book, and a book on firewalls, but there's something here I don't understand. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I can do to figure this out?
thanks, Joan
