Random Blithering Curiosity... Is the gateway a NAPT?
I had this problem for a while where I would be fine on the inside, then as
soon as I went to the outside, I'd get the same problem you're experiencing.
Checking the following fixed my problems:
1) don't ssh as root unless you /have/ to.
2) Check that your NA(P)T allows port 22 on TCP *and* UDP, incoming and
outgoing.
3) try using an SSH key. This occasionally fixes things.
I have a Lenny box sitting on my desk that I SSH to all the time with the
default configuration. Nothing special, just the default OpenSSH-server
configuration.
For those who were confused:
The setup as it looks like to me is this:
(Internets)----[Gateway/router]--,---[server]
`--[laptop]
this configuration /works/.
[laptop]---(??)--(internets)--[gateway]---[server]
This does not.
This leads me to beg that there is either a configuration issue that says "Dont
let anyone who's not on my local network talk to me" or a configuration issue
with port translation.
