Connection Timeout

[Jeff Sims]

This is my first post so first of all I will say hello to everyone.   I have rsync configured and working properly on my local network however when I try to connect from a remote host (one located in a different state) the connection times out. I was wondering if there was another way to set the timeout besides in the rsyncd.conf file?   As I said the connection works fine on the internal lan, but no remote machine can connect. The machine is listed in the host allow variable in the rsyncd.conf file and the username and password are correct. I can ssh from the remote machine in so it isn't a connectivity issue.   Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you   Jeff Sims
