I'm not sure what you mean by "going to". Externally, I'm on an IPV4 system, and the router does have an IPV4 address. So, when I try ssh <name>@ipv4-address and when I have port forwarding set for port 22 to an 192.168 (internal IPV4 address) of the box, I'd expect it to get to the centos box, but it doesn't.
I know what the iPV4 address is because a) it says so within the router, and b) the Centos box occasionally sends me a message whose IP address I can see. I fear I may need help with the router also. In addition, I'm remote from my friend, and ask him to do certain things. I have access to his Windows box via Team Viewer, and thus have access to his router. The centos box was working just fine before his older IPV4 router failed and Comcast replaced it. Any guidance you can give would be appreciated.
