Are you doing uni-directional NAT on the Linksys? Are there any firewall rules defined on the Linksys? In addition to allowing packets from outside to port 22 on your SSH server, do you allow outgoing packets from your SSH server on port 22 to local ephemeral ports (1024-65535) on the outside clients? Traceroute also uses either ICMP (Windows) or UDP+ICMP (Unix) to high numbered ports. On Thu, 10 May 2001, Bill Mills-Curran wrote: bcurra> It never makes it.
