Topic: Can't connect via SSH, even with public setting

[Matthias J. Lang]

Hi folks!
I really have a big problem:
I have installed an e-smith server and connect the box with my local net (IP:192.168.0.2; MASK:255.255.255.0) and with our provider using a nic, too. This NIC has IP 195.30.22.23 and MASK 255.255.255.224. If I configure the box, it asks for a gateway (IP:195.30.22.1 MASK:255.255.255.224) and it tell it to the box. Now everything seems to be well, but I can't connect via SSH from outside local network (form inside its all ok). What setting has to be chnaged to do so? The Remote Access setting is always set to PUBLIC. If I want to access another server with SuSE Linux. there isn't any problem.
Please HELP!

OK!

You can access the server thru SSH IF and only IF you are accessing it from a network that has been added as local on  your server.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Go ahead - I dare ya!

You are wrong. I have SSH access to my box at home from work, and have not added any additional networks. All I did to configure it was to set "Public, "Yes" and "Yes" for the following three menu options:

Secure shell (ssh) access
Allow administrative command line access over ssh
Allow ssh access using standard passwords

You are wrong. You can ssh to a server from anywhere that is able to connect to it.
