Well, I have a no-ip account and I've got the script running on my machine at home keeping it updated and I can't SSH into my machine at that IP. Plus, when I look at my router at home, I see that the "internet" side of things is using a non-routeable IP. From a little research, it appears that the DSL modem is doing NAT as well, which would not necessarily be a bad thing if I didn't have a router. J

What's a traceroute from your PC behind the router show? In my case, the first hop is the LAN side of the router on the 192.168.1.x ip range, but the second hop is a publically accessible IP address that may change from time to time (it's apparently a DHCP-assigned public address). That second, publically addressable IP address is the one you'd point to from the outside, and set up your router to NAT or otherwise pass through the traffic to the Linux box. _____ From: Ames Matthew B [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 10:19 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Internet issues (RANT) Virtually all end-users in the UK use routers on the end of their ADSL lines, and the standard IP range seems to be 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x _____ From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 24 March 2010 15:00 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Internet issues (RANT) Not necessarily. Most PCs come with the NIC set for DHCP, and most end-users don't bother with routers (which is one reason, IMHO, that a lot of Window boxes get hacked and turned into spam servers) so if the modem is handing out a 192.168.x.y address, who cares? Only geeks like us.

Wouldn't most anyone with a private range somwhere inside 192.168.0.0/16 have a trouble with this new setup?

Really? They are now doing address translation for you? That's a new one. Maybe we really are running out of IPv4 addresses...

Why do you need PPPoE on the modem to SSH into your Linux box? Isn't PPPoE usually used to establish the WAN connection from home to the ISP? If you're just plain 'ol DHCP on the WAN interface now, can't you just forward port 22 to the Linux machine? On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 9:58 AM, John Aldrich <[email protected]> wrote: Not sure.

Well, Monday morning, everything was working fine, but yesterday after I got to work, I was unable to SSH to my linux box at home and when I got home, my DSL wasn't working. So I called tech support and they were no help. Finally they sent out a technician yesterday and upgraded my modem (thinking that was the issue since my speed had doubled, maybe the modem couldn't handle the upgrade.) I got home, and the modem was connected, but I still couldn't get online, even with the brand new router I bought yesterday. So I called up Windstream (my ISP) tech support again and went over the router configs with them. That's when I discovered they stopped using PPPOE on the modems. Wondering how long this has been going on and why they didn't tell me! *sigh* Now I've got to figure out a way to connect back to my LAN at home.strictly for testing purposes, of course.
