I can use ssh to connect to his machine with no problems, but if I connect to his box and try to connect back to my own machine via ssh, I get the following message: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host His machine is on a local subnet behind a router. His setup looks like this: BSD box -- IP address 192.168.1.100 | | --> router -- gateway address 192.168.1.1 external address x.x.x.x | | --> to outside world Could this be contributing to the problem? Also, the hostname he set on the box doesn't correspond to any externally resolvable address. On top of that, his router's external address is obtained from his ISP using DHCP, and changes quite often. Any clues as to where the problem may be would be greatly appreciated. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Conrad Sabatier Date: 26-Sep-2001 Time: 16:31:19 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
