Hi, im having a little trouble connecting to my SSH server... i went to www.no-ip.org and got one of their IPs.. (dfrazer.redirectme.net) and then i try to connect to it via PuTTY, and i type dfrazer.redirectme.net at port 22 and it loads the screen and waits a second then says "Network Error: Connection Refused" Does anyone know whatsup?

I can connect to another server (on campus) at say a.redirectme.net and it works fine... Why wont my server work >.< I can ping my server from this computers command prompt using ping dfrazer.redirectme.net...

Is the ssh server running on your machine?

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/sshd status

should tell you that.

yes indeed it is... it boots with my computer.

other then that make sure if you have a nat nat / iptables / firewall that the port is open for conneciton. "Connection refused" means that the computer (or anything between it) answered: "No there is no application listingen on that port".

or check that dfrazer.redirectme.net is pointing to the right ip... maybe you set it via a webbrowser/proxy combo...
so the ip isnt the one of your server

im pretty sure it is... i used lynx to register the name from the server computer, it automatically got the IP from that computer, and i also verified it to the ifconfig >.< im pretty sure its the right IP (but im not entirely sure i understand what yoru saying with all this proxy and webbrowser stuff) >.<

i think you got it right... i thought that when you update your ip via a webbrowser(login etc) and you're using any proxy: no-ip will update the dns to the ip of the proxy

maybe wait a few minutes to get the update to be active...

btw.. can you ssh to your external ip?

does your sshd listen on the correct interface (the one with your externally reachable ip address)?

listen to the correct port? I changed the ListenAddress in the sshd_config to dfrazer.redirectme.net however... that still didnt work >.<
