Hi, Could be several reasons. I presume that you succeede in ssh-ing to that machine, from another client (i.e. The machine does accept incomoing ssh-request) Perhaps firewall settings? Or accept/deny configurations? ----- Oorspronkelijk bericht ----- Van: Abu Attar Musharih [mailto:abuattar.musharih@xxxxxxxxx] Verzonden: Saturday, October 22, 2011 11:31 AM Aan: Community support for Fedora users <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Onderwerp: Unable to ssh nodes with global IP Dear List, My internet connection is via mobile broadband.
