Re: ssh - cannot log in

Thanks, I do understand that there is an internal and an external address. I want to force my workstation to have the internal address 192.168.1.140 so that my router will forward port 22 to the right machine - it's set up to do that so that my windows stuff works.  Can I make Fedora assign a specific internal address? Because interally I'm not always at 192.168.1.2; it seems to depend on which machine logs in first.

I'd be happy to do any reading - can you point me at the right doc? I've searched a lot but haven't got the right keywords or fully understood some of what I've read....

No - I think you need to do some more reading.  192.168.1.n is an
address on your internal network - and cannot be reached from the
internet.  Your router will have two addresses, an internal one
(192.168.1.40 I assume) and an external one that is not itn the
192.168.1.n range.

I assume you are trying to run putty on a machine that is not on your
local network, i.e. over the Internet.  If so, you should be connecting
to the external IP address, and you need to log onto your router and set
ok for a way of setting up prot forwarding, and then forward port 22
packets that come into your router to 192.168.1.2 (your workstation).

This wil only work if your ISP isn't blocking port 22.
