Adelphia at home and NAT...

[fbsd_user]

I have Adelphia Cable also and this is how it works. They use DHCP
to issue dynamic ip addresses to their cable modem. The ip address
does not change unless you power off the cable modem or there is an
power outage in your area. Use ifconfig command to display info
about your interfaces (IE: Nic cards), the Nic card cabled from FBSD
gateway to cable modem will have an public IP address assigned by
Adelphia. Write down that ip address, when at work use ssh to login
at that ip address and you will go to your home machine. If you have
web server on your FBSD system you can just use IP address in
ms/windows internet browser to access your home apache server.

Your other question about using 'dynamic DNS for home computers' has
been answered many times in this list. You need to do your home work
to earn your strips by first searching this lists archives for you
answers.

Subject: Adelphia at home and NAT...


I chose Adelphia for my high speed internet service here in lovely
Vermont. Well, actually, Adelphia is the ONLY choice. Don't get me
started. DSL isn't even in sight.

I would like to be able to ssh into my home machine from a remote
internet site or someone else's computer. I've tried a couple of
things
I thought might work and no such lunch. I understand Adelphia might
be
using NAT to route packets to my home machine. If this is true, does
it
mean I'm can't ssh remotely? How, if possible, can I get through.
There
is a company in Boston that advertises a package that does dynamic
DNS
for home computers. I haven't looked into how it works, though.
There's
gotta be a way!

Thanks,

Alex
