If you are using an LRP type router (which I seem to recall you are),
then I'll bet the firewall rules on the LRP are the problem.
Used to. I'm now using a D-Link router/wireless hot spot.
Then you understand that you can SSH into only one designated (by your
router) computer from outside your LAN. After that connection, you can
SSH from the connected box (inside the LAN) to any other box that is
running a properly configured sshd.
Yup. Unless I have ssh on other ports, it is my understanding that this
is the case. The issue is, once I'm into that designated computer (which
is what I'm writing you from), can I then ssh into my laptop?
Sure, assuming all the stuff mentioned by others is working properly.
Including the laptop being turned on. :-) SSH into to the designated SSH
server, and from there SSH into any other box on the LAN.
I do it all the time when I need to access one of the boxes on my LAN
from outside. I also take it a bit further: I have three VPN gateways
setup through my router to three other 192.168.n.n subnets. That way I
can access boxes on those subnets using 192.168.n.n IP addresses, or by
name. I even have one to a friend in Oregon.
This helps me manage my mom and sister's computers, for instance, plus
it allows me to run a single intranet file server which can be mounted
and accessed by multiple branches of the family. Mostly the file server
is one big download repository. Plus it adds some redundancy for
off-site copies of important files (well, not for me, the file server is
on the same premises as my own LAN).
