Re: ssh to my computer behind NAT

Oh. Well forgive me for suggesting a non-open source product, but look into Dropbox:

http://www.dropbox.com/

With this, you copy items into the Dropbox on your system, and it's almost instantly accessible both from any other machine you install Dropbox on, or from the https://www.dropbox.com website. Free (as in beer) for up to 2 Gigs space.

Not as good as getting into your system remotely, but oh well.

Spandex is a privilege, not a right.

Your explanation of a middle host is good.
I didn't understand what you were doing, previously.

Your description of NAT is fine. �Your ISP is doing NAT.

My first thought is to say, talk to the ISP.
The ISP should have a way for you to configure their NAT router
to forward the ssh port to your host.

I have difficulty thinking why the ISP wouldn't let you configure
their NAT router to forward the ssh port to your host...unless.

I hadn't thought of it before, but putting customers behind a NAT
router, and not letting customers configure the NAT router to
forward ports, might be a way to prevent customers running servers.

Is this what the ISP is trying to do? �Stop customers running servers?



If a customer wants to run a server, even an ssh server,
which is what you wish to do, does the ISP wish to charge more money?

*YES*


If the ISP is deliberately stopping you, I'd say get another ISP.
If you can't get another ISP, I don't know what to suggest.


I just thought of another possibility the ISP might be doing.

Are you, and some other customers of the ISP, sharing the same public
IP address? �Doing so would reduce the number of public IP addresses
the ISP would need. �I'd be very, very surprised if an ISP did this.
I'd be more than surprised. �I'd be shocked.



Take a deep breath! Yes, we're!!!
I live in a students hostel and I'm unable to change ISP. The only
other solution would be to to get a gprs-modem. But I don't want to
bay it because prices are wild here in Moscow (and I'd have dynamic IP
then, correct?). Before writing on this list I've consulted my ISP.
They have no better (free) solution that the one I have at the moment.
Alternatively, they can charge me with extra money for so called
'static IP'. I don't need it because I don't want to run WEB-server at
home. I just want to access my files at home computer from lab
computer to eliminate stresses in case I forgot a USB-drive in a rash
to the lab :-)
