Trouble with sshd and other services from external ip

I have the same problem as Sword has mentioned.http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?p=99933
I have a dlink dsl g604t and i have put 10.1.1.100(Fedora 8 box) into the DMZ.

I can ssh fine from the lan but if i try from an external ip i get access denied.

hosts.deny is an empty file
Fedora firewall has been disabled via system-config-firewall
SELinux has been disabled via /etc/selinux/config & SELINUX=disabled

This is my netstat -tap

[root@pluto etc]# netstat -tap

anyone have an idear of what im missing?

Cheers and thanks

 

Perhaps the router is the problem here ?
So now im sure this is an issue caused by the DSL-G604T, i can see my ssh connection attempts to fedora in the routers logs

12:03:12> login attempt for nonexistant user 'pags' from (null)
12:20:38> login attempt for nonexistant user 'pags' from (null)
13:08:11> bad password attempt for 'root' from (null)

 

Are you absolutely sure your server is in the DMZ? Have you tried to restart the router?

 

im 100% sure the g604t has the linux box in the dmz, tho i now think its the g604t's problem, reading around it seams alot of people have lots of troubles with this adsl modem.

 

Have you tried to restart it?

 

Hi,

If you want ssh access to the internal server running sshd..

I think the way to do this is to setup a VPN passthrough to a terminal server inside the network... Then using something like putty shh to the linux box running sshd.

Its not the most practical solution... But it works... Also it is slighly more secure hence the the encrypted VPN tunnel...

Also this router does not support local loopback...
Also i think putting the server in or out of the DMZ really does not work..
