I don't have any of these other services running, SSH was my first project, I figured I'd try and get that working so I can get help with the rest of it :) > Sorry to hijack, but the 678 do NAT now? > Before they only did PAT I'm sure its PAT, not "real" NAT, the modem calls it NAT so that's what I put in my e-mail. > Where are you trying to test it from?

I'm testing it from inside the network, and have also been bugging an ever so patient friend from outside my network to test it, he is faced with the same results...but knows nothing of the 678. > Running iptables or ipchains? > Check /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny? I'm not running iptables or ipchains (that I know of?), what am I checking for in these files? They have no uncommented lines. Do I need to add some to hosts.allow in order for others to access SSH?
