ssh from outside to home ubuntu failed
I have set up portforwarding with my buffalo air station and have set up ssh in my ubuntu. I was able to connect to my ubuntu from outside but now i fail. Not sure what has been changed/wrong
1. port forwarding is setup, from router Internet IP to local lan IP, e.g.
Internet:22 --> 192.168.11.2:22
2. Firewall disable for port 22
3. Ssh from within works, so sshd is configured correctly
[martin<> localhost ~]$ ssh 192.168.11.2
The authenticity of host '192.168.11.2 (192.168.11.2)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 47:29:03:3f:b5:87:90:1b:58:67:52:82:f4:6a:7c:9d.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

Correction: Internet:22 --> 192.168.11.2:22 , Internet means my router internet address

More info, there is no IP restriction on my own sshd, in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Port 22
#AddressFamily any
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress 192.168.1.6
#ListenAddress ::
Also, no firewall set in my router to block port 22

Do you have a static IP address from your ISP, or is it dynamic? If dynamic, then that is your problem since you cannot know externally what the actual IP address of your router is. In any case, even though you may have the same dhcp address for some period of time, that can change at any time when the lease expires.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
