Hi all:

Got the 'cumsuck' cable internet. Works well. What I am wanting to do
is be able to connect to my PC at home while I am at work or somebody's
home. Unable to find info. What I have found is that they (comcast) can
connect to your winbloz PC using Remote Assist. This would tell me that
I should be able to connect to my PC once I find a connection to the
comcast network.

I am running Linux (2.6 kernel) on my server. Any ideas on how to do
this?

NOTE: In all honesty, the cable service has been fairly reliable. No
major technical problems to report. (They did have DNS bouncing for
awhile but that seems gone now.) My major complaint is the customer
service and the COMPLETE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE of the support personnel.
Ask them a question and their response is "reboot the computer" or
"reboot the modem" or "we don't support that". They don't know what
"that" is! They are a worthless bunch of phone monkeys who have no
value what so ever!

Sorry for my rant - I feel better now. Thanks.

Set sshd to start on boot. Start the sshd daemon.
I assume you will set the firewall is set to allow incomming ssh and
have strong passwords for *all* accounts.

then you should be able to do a
ssh raggmopp@c-xx-xx-xx-xx@comcast.net

For extra points
man ssh
man sshd

Bit Twister:

What is the c-xx-xx-xx-xx?
The IP address assigned to me by the ISP?
Tried with the hyphens and the dot notation but still no luck.

Looks like I have it.

ssh c-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.hsd1.co.comcast.net

The 'x' characters are the octets of IP address.

It is the node name. With comcast, with ip address.

Has to have the sub domains. Try
c-24-9-229-17.hsd1.co.comcast.net
