im trying to ssh into my own computer and everytime i try to do it with another computer with the IP not the local ip the request times out when i know good and well my machine is running, im trying to set up a group and i need ssh and telnet but i tried running nmap and it said im denying ping probes and i was wondering if there is a way to fix this i already looked it see if i had a firewall running but i dont and i have to be able to ssh my own computer for files and training purposes

Sounds like you need to open the relevant port on your router and forward it to your computer's local ip address.

local ip address, thats great but i need the ipv4 from a computer at hastings to ssh in to my computer at my house NOT locally and if i need to forward that port, how do i do that? im still kinda new to linux i am gonna be taking some classes on Linux soon so im trying to learn as much as possible before hand so how do i open a relevant port on my router? and forward it to my local?

No probs. I suggest you google something like "ssh linux tutorial" and take it from there. The problem has nothing to do with OSs but is network related.

Basic premise:

1) you have a laptop somewhere and want to connect to home computer (hc)

Problem:

1) You need to know the ip address of your home router. Use dyndns (google) to set this up.
2) Within your home network you may have more than one computer in which case your hc should have a fixed local ip address (normally 192.168.1.100 or some such - check out the feodora wiki on how to set up a fixed ip address)
3) Your router at home has to forward any ssh calls (usually port 22) to your hc's local ip address (go into the firmware of your box, typing 192.168.1.1 into your browser location bar should do the trick) and forward all calls to port 22 to 192.168.1.100)
4) Your hc has to listen to ssh calls

The above ip addresses may vary depending on your setup.

Hope that makes sense and carry on reading. If you have any questions post them
