To quote ray p <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, # I have a firewall (floppyfw) based that I am trying to do SSH through to # my Debian box on the other side and it will not work. I have uncommented # the lines that are supposed to allow forwarding to the box behind it in # the scripts and still everytime I try to connect I get connection # refused. I know that SSH is up and running on my Debian box and can # connect to it from other machines on my home network. But I can not get # to it from the other side of the firewall. Any ideas or suggestions please?
I think this is a problem with your router, not Debian. That said, could you supply some more information? Specifically, any and all firewall rules that you have set up on the router(to get a list, run 'ipchains -L -n'). If you could attach whatever scripts the floppyfw uses to set up the firewall, that would be ideal. Also, you might consider going with a full-featured router-on-a-floppy distribution. the LRP(Linux Router Project) is good. For something a bit more friendly, check out the Coyote Linux distribution, which is also based on the LRP. David Barclay Harris, Clan Barclay Aut agere, aut mori. (Either action, or death.)
