cannont ssh into linux box from internet

I have a Windows XP professional machine which connects to the internet. The connection is shared via Windows ICS. I configured the firewall to forward tcp traffic on port 22 to my gentoo machine. Using Putty, I can access the machine by its intranet address, 192.168.0.104. However, if I try to ssh into it using my internet IP. I get "Network Error: Connection refused." I'm using basically all of the default settings. I manually generated some keys, but that didn't change any functionality. I could never connect using an internet IP. Are there settings that need to be changed?

Thanks,
Kris

dunno if this helps, but on my router i cannot access services inside my lan using my internet ip if im in the lan, hope u understand that so yeah anehow when i setup the services i usually go to sygate online scan @ http://scan.sygatetech.com/ and check if the ports and service name appear to be open on the public ip

.. like i say dunno if that was anyway helpful ...

Yeah, sounds like something is up w/ the port forward on the dsl / cable modem or whatever.

Sygate does find the SSH service. It even provides the version number.

Trying to find out what services you are running...
Secure Shell Open = SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.9p1

I'm using Windows dial up networking with ICS/ICF.

Internal port: 22
External port: 22

I've been specifying an IP manually and it doesnt work. I don't have a machine outside of the network that I can use. If someone could test it for me the IP is: 65.216.169.201

Thanks,
Kris

That's odd, I never configured a banner. It usually just says "login:" Is that what you're referring too? If it works it must be some strange way ICS works. Perhaps it can't route the packet from my machine back to the Gentoo machine.

Thanks for your assistance!
