tried to change the services to read "192.168.0.1" Netgear says 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
 


ipchicken.com tells me the address the outside world can use to log
into my system and when I ssh to what ipchicken.com says I get the
message from ssh 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 likely problems things to look for?
 


 Additional info:
 my Router is a Netgear RP614
 I can successfully ping my the address IPChicken found for me.
