When you have connected to the remote host, call "who":

slbpky:~>  who
albinus  tty7         2009-09-02 16:19 (:0)
albinus  pts/0        2009-09-02 16:19 (localhost:10.0)
albinus  pts/1        2009-09-04 08:29 (100.200.100.200)
albinus  pts/2        2009-09-04 08:31 (localhost:12.0)

The string "100.200.100.200" I have used instead of my real values ...
This is the IP address your router is visible in the net. You can try to
reach it from your remote host via "ping 100.200.100.200".

If you have enabled NAT forwarding of port 22 in our router (Siemens
router shall allow this), you can even try "ssh user@100.200.100.200".
You shall reach your local host from the remote one.

I don't have a static IP, moreover from the outside I can only see my
ISP's servers not my home machine. Hence I can't login from the outside.

I hope you see at least your router as described above.


Unfortunately I can't ping my router from the remote machine and get a response. It seems my ISP is the culprit. Call to tech support didn't help either. :( I will try posting on my distro's user list. This has become way off-topic here.

Wish me luck. And thanks to all those who replied to the thread.
