Connection timed out when trying to connect to Linux via PuTTY

[Loysn]

when I try to connect via PuTTY from a windows machine I get " PuTTY Fatal error connection timed out. I try to do so via a router redirecting IPadr:86 to local adr:22 on the Linux machine.

I seems not to be a routing issue since the router is setup to redirect apparently correctly.

Well I have stopped iptables and selinux is disabled. The sshd deamon is running. I can logon with ssh locally "ssh webcamATlocal adr" Any Ideas to how I can solve this puzzle?

Are you trying to use putty to create an ssh connection, or a telnet connection? Also, you may have the port misconfigured. You don't specify what your putty connection options may be set to.

I am trying to create a ssh connection.

My PuTTY connection options are :
keepalives = 0
Nagle's algorrithm = disabled
Internet protocol version = auto

Data:
terminal-type string =xterm
terminal speeds =38400/38400

Proxy:
=None

Telnet
= BSD (commonplace)
= Return key sends Telnet New Line instead of (hat)M (underscored M)

Rlogin
=blank

SSH
-Kex
Diffie-Hellman group exchange
Diffie-Hellman group 14
Diffie-Hellman group 1
-- warn below here --
Max minutes before rekey ( 0 for no limit) = 60
Max data before rekey ( 0 for no limiir) = 1G
-Auth
Atempth authentication using Pageant chosen
Atempth "keyboard-interactive" auth (SSH-2) chosen
-TTY
Terminal modes = all auto
mode = INTR
Value = auto
-X11
MIT-Magic-Cookie-1 chosen
-Tunnels

-Bugs
all auto
Serial
Serial line to connect to = COM1
speed (baud) = 9600
Data bits = 8
Stop bit = 1
parity = none
Flow control = XON/XOFF

The possible port misconfiguration, is that on Linux or the Router?

Well, you are using the telnet, not ssh protcol, so you need to be sure your xinetd is configured properly to allow telnet connections. If you prefer to use ssh, then you need to change the putty configuration for that connection.
