I am running Ubuntu 8.04 on the MythTV box and 8.10 on the desktop. I can connect to the MythTV box through the internet. I got a hostname for my router through DynDNS and I forward the appropriate ports to the MythTV box. When I ssh to that hostname (or go to it through the internet) I can connect handily to my box. >> >> You can see if there are any firewall rules by checking iptables: >> $ sudo iptables --list >> >> KEnneth Both of the computers return the following when I "sudo iptables --list": Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination On Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 4:49 PM, Brandon Stout <[email protected]> wrote: > Another thing to look at: > > Are you trying to connect using the direct IP, or using a hostname?

I am trying to use ssh 192.168.2.x. Thanks, Joshua /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
