I can access a remote computer (in Italy) with openvpn, but I cannot ping its external address, or ssh to this address.
I can login with ssh to the openvpn address 192.168.5.22 , and then I get the external address with ------------------------ [tim@alfred ~]$ lynx -dump "http://checkip.dyndns.org"; Current IP Address: 79.46.130.4 [tim@alfred ~]$ ping -c1 79.46.130.4 PING 79.46.130.4 (79.46.130.4) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 79.46.130.4: icmp_seq=1 ttl=253 time=1.14 ms ------------------------ As shown, I can ping this address from the remote machine. However, I cannot ping it from my home machine (in Ireland). I'm using a Billion modem/router in Italy; I'm not sure if the problem lies with this? Or if some server along the way refuses to allow pings? When I run "traceroute 79.46.130.4" from Ireland I get as far as Milan (in Italy) but then just get *** . The issue is rather academic, as I can (and do) use openvpn. But I have a (free) DynDNS account, which gets the IP address OK, and I would quite like to be able to access the machine that way. Any elucidation gratefully received, and apologies if this is too OT. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
