[QUOTE="iRock, post: 466956, member: 9277"] My guess is that its an internal IP address that the Mac gave you (and you are infact behind a router also). If thats the case you need to get your external IP address (that of your router). Next you need to set up port 22 to forward to the internal IP address of your Mac. So for example your internal address is 192.168.1.xx then you would set up ports 22 - 22 on your router to forward to 192.168.1.xx -------------------- Then you need to make sure that your external IP stays that way, you have two options. Get a static IP address or use something like [url]http://www.dyndns.com/[/url] . I'm using dynDNS and it works pretty good. It just gives you a host name that you can connect to rather than an IP... that way everytime your IP address changes, DynDNS updates it against the hostname. I haven't had any problems with it yet.
