Your explanation of a middle host is good. I didn't understand what you were doing, previously. Your description of NAT is fine. Your ISP is doing NAT. My first thought is to say, talk to the ISP. The ISP should have a way for you to configure their NAT router to forward the ssh port to your host. I have difficulty thinking why the ISP wouldn't let you configure their NAT router to forward the ssh port to your host...unless. I hadn't thought of it before, but putting customers behind a NAT router, and not letting customers configure the NAT router to forward ports, might be a way to prevent customers running servers. Is this what the ISP is trying to do? Stop customers running servers? If a customer wants to run a server, even an ssh server, which is what you wish to do, does the ISP wish to charge more money? If the ISP is deliberately stopping you, I'd say get another ISP. If you can't get another ISP, I don't know what to suggest. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
