ssh

[Dan Martin]

Good afternoon,

I've been running Suse 8 for some time,
but have not needed access via ssh until
now.

sshd seems to be configured.  I can ssh
locally, from another machine, but I've been
unable to do so via my internet connection,
which is thru Verizon DSL.

On ssh'ing locally, the following messages
are logged:

Jan  6 13:32:00 suse8 sshd[30215]: Could not reverse map address 
192.168.0.41.
Jan  6 13:32:03 suse8 sshd[30215]: Accepted password for dan from 
::ffff:192.168.0.41 port 1222 ssh2

Nothing is logged when I try ssh'ing thru my
ISP, so I think the setup needs to be done in
the Westell 2200 DSL modem.  It has a configuration/services
screen accessible via browser, and I selected ssh, and it
seems to have accepted the change.

ssh'ing dies with this message:
ssh: connect to host 71.126.40.170 port 22: Connection refused
(the ip address is for the Westell.  It is dynamic, but
was correct at the time of the test).  I don't know if this
message is coming from the Westell or from Linux.  If it's
from Linux, it is not logged in messages. 

Not surprisingly, Verizon has not been much help.
Could you suggest a starting point for me to investigate?

Thanks,
Dan Martin
