Why not use a utility service with ‘ # sudo service ssh start’ which is more better than initiating init script from a folder with # sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start?

hi i am testing SSH on linux and i am having problem connecting to the Linux SERVER. i have a client PC running Putty (shh) and a Linux SSH server (bear box modem). when i try to connect to the SSH server via a PC running Putty connected to my 3G modem i get network error: timeout. Linux box is also connected to a 3G rooter with port 22 forwarded.

when i connect to a PC loaded with Unix or Windows running and loaded with SSH server, i can connet fine with no hassle. using the same setup

can you please help

for home user that’s using DSL/ADSL/similar router, make sure that the port is forwarded to your machine.

for other version that cant run, not sure if this will work:
sudo apt-get update

possibly the record in your ubuntu is not updated yet…

@ Dennis

Open port using Firewall. You need to setup port forwarding if you are using DSL/ADSL/Cable internet.

I have the same problem as Mikey. Anyone have a solution?

Hey all, I can’t seem to get my SSH to let other people connect. It works fine for any local computer on the network but if you try connecting VIA the internet it has connection errors. Does anyone know why? I was told my tunneling needs to be set so i just set tunneling to YES and it still doesn’t work…

Thanks alot! Mikey
