CONFIGURING LINKSYS ROUTER

 
I have been having problem connecting to my Linux machine remotely (ISP: Comcast, ROUTER: Linksys) but finally I found the solution.

These are the steps I followed to login remotely into my Linux machine:


1. Type http://192.168.1.1/Forward.htm in your browser
2. Enter the following:
        Username: LEAVE THIS FIELD BLANK 
        Password: admin (this is the default password)
3. Fill in the ports and IP addresses to which you want the 
   requests to be forwarded to.

   NOTE: The IP address you need to enter here is the one 
         you get when you type ipconfig at the command 
         prompt. This IP address is the address that is 
         local to your subnet and is not know to the 
         outside world.
4. Once you make the necessary changes, click the Apply 
   button.





5. Type http://checkip.dyndns.org in your browser
   When you visit the above site, it will display the 
   actual IP address of your machine that is visible 
   to the outside world.
6. I use SSH to login remotely to my Linux machine and in 
   the HOSTNAME just type the IP address that you got 
   while visiting the above site.

That’s it, you are all set.
