I'll let you know how it goes.
]]>Edit: Also, your Internet provider may not allow the use of port 22. Some schools and businesses will block that port. Port 443 is usually open as it is used for HTTPS. But -- DON'T DO ANYTHING that is against the rules imposed by your provider -- especially if it is your employer.
]]>It is really strange though because I can enable the port forwarding fine, and there is nothing in the router settings blocking the service as far as I know, and yet still nothing. However, I can connect locally to the server without any problems which leads me to believe it is a problem with the router configuration.
]]>Are you forwarding port 22?
Do you use passwords or key pairs?
Any input on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
