My Router is a Netgear RP614 and I can successfully ping the address reported by www.ipchicken.com.

Netgear's port forwarding screen shows SERVICES as "192.168.0" and nothing for the fourth group of digit(s). I tried to change the SERVICES to read "192.168.0.1" to but when I tried to change the services to read "192.168.0.1" Netgear pops up a "[JavaScript Application]" box saying "invalid service".

I can ssh into my linuxbox downstairs (192.168.0.3) with no problem.

Also on the NetGear Port Forwarding screen: Under the column headed "Service Name" 20-22 is shown, and to the far right is the Server IP address of 192.168.0.1 is shown.

ipchicken.com reports the address the outside world can use to log into my system and when I ssh to what ipchicken.com says I get the ssh message saying "connection refused".

I'm *guessing* that maybe SERVICES should be set to what ipchicken reported instead of a local lan address. Is that a bad guess?

Any clues or suggestions as to what may be wrong?
