Remote Access Test (Help Needed)

The telnet test can be performed using either Windows or Linux/Unix
systems; SSH and remote login are tricky from Windows unless you have
third party software. I would recommend putty.exe.

On Windows machines download putty.exe, then double click on putty.exe in
Windows Explorer to launch it. I have a copy of putty.exe here:
ftp://80.4.4.163/Downloads/putty.exe .

(For details, see http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ .

The port number you require is:

For SSH: 22
For Telnet: 23
For Rlogin, 513.

For Windows systems:

Start a command prompt, and type the following:

telnet 80.4.4.163

and let me know whether you can see a login prompt which should look like:

david-norris-cs login:

(Don't worry about logging in; if you get this far, it's OK!)

The same command can be used for Unix or Linux systems.

For secure shell (Linux/Unix users only, Windows does not have a ssh
command. (You can try if you have the program called 'putty.exe', pointing
it at the default port 22):

type ssh 80.4.4.163

and you should get:

davidn@xxxxxxxxxxx's password:

or similar.

(You may get also something asking if you want to continue; just respond
'yes'. Again don't worry about logging in; if you can connect, there is no
problem! Of course, I cannot publish the password here!!!)

For remote login, type:

rlogin 80.4.4.163

and you should get:

Password:

Again, you can disconnect now. Press Control-C.

The reason I need to do this test is that although things work just fine
on the private LAN (192.168.0.X addresses), I need to verify that it works
from the outside world via port forwarding; my global address is
80.4.4.163.

Thanks very much for helping!

David
