I have a RHL 9 box I'm trying to ssh to (eventually from work). From
the box to itself, and from an XP box on the same private network I
can connect, but when I connect to my comcast-assigned IP, the
connection doesn't work. I have enabled port 22 forwarding on my
router.

RHL box == 192.168.0.13
Win XP box == 192.168.0.11
Netgear rp614v2 router == 191.168.0.1 (LAN side),24.8.x.y (WAN side)
Netgear box is set to forward port 22 to 192.168.0.13
Netgear box connects to comcast.net cable modem.

>From my Win XP box, this works properly
ssh -l some_user 192.168.0.13

>From the RHL box, this works properly
ssh -l some_user 192.168.0.13

>From either, this fails
ssh -l some_user 24.8.x.y
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
