Hi all, I'm having a very strange problem and - surely - I think I've tried anything possible to solve it.
Situation: I can't connect to an ssh server on the internet. I've tried with multiple ones (university, my server, a friends one...), but it always fails. Commands are right, this isn't the thing. Anyway, connecting to my server within in my personal network (e.g. ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]) works like a charm. Done work: I've tried this thing with two routers, a U.S. Robotics and currently I'm using a Linksys WRT54GS. Nothing different. I've also tried with a "live-cd" Knoppix. Nothing different. Strange thing: I'm using Ubuntu Dapper (ssh -V: OpenSSH_4.2p1 Debian-7ubuntu3, OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005). When I try to connect with PuTTY (aptitude install putty) everything is fine and I *can* connect. Also no problem when connecting from Windows through PuTTY. Log: Everything seems fine, I'm entering my password and here it goes: ~~~ [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentication succeeded (password). debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug2: channel 0: send open debug1: Entering interactive session. debug2: callback start debug2: client_session2_setup: id 0 debug2: channel 0: request pty-req confirm 0 debug1: Sending environment. debug1: Sending env LANG = de_DE.UTF-8 debug2: channel 0: request env confirm 0 debug2: channel 0: request shell confirm 0 debug2: fd 3 setting TCP_NODELAY debug2: callback done debug2: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768 ~~~ Then nothing happens for about 10 to 15 minutes until this information shows up. ~~~ debug1: channel 0: free: client-session, nchannels 1 Read from remote host xxx.de: Connection timed out Connection to xxx.de closed. debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 0, stderr 138 bytes in 1215.0 seconds debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 0.1 debug1: Exit status -1 ~~~ Is there anyone who can provide some tips and is willing to help me? :-) -- Kind regards, Manu
