Somehow it seems I can't ssh to my PB. I have turned on Remote Login in System Prefrences. My router is forwarding port 22 to the fixed IP of PB (192.168.1.151). It seems the authentication is being refused. I tried from other machines to PB but no success. Then I tried to ssh on the PB itself by running Fugu on it and input 127.0.0.1 and it works OK. If I input in Fugu 192.168.1.151 even then it is no problem. Only when I try to ssh using the public IP I can't get authenticated.

I thought it might be a router problem so I connected my PB directly to the ADSL modem but still no sucess in ssh on public IP. I can ssh to other machine without any problem as I use Chicken of the VNC over ssh to connect to Windows machines.

I have tried with firewall off and on but it still does not work.

Is there any setting which I might have to enable/disable?

Please help.

I assume System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Login is set to on?

Yeh chucker it was turned on already

And somehow like a majic it is working now. I spent well over 2 hours to try everything but don't know what was the problem and how it got fixed on its own. I am happy that it is working and hope it does not go wrong again in future.

Thanks anyway.

Oh, gee. I really suck at reading today.

Well, glad you got it working.

Nah, it's not magic. I telepathically fixed your system. You're welcome.
