i'm trying to ssh over the internet connection to gain access to a server, i'm using gentoo linux, i just can't seem to get pass the NAT on the public apn, on a wireless broadband connection.

perhaps anyone could tell me how, i managed to get a connection to the network in the maldives and then when i tried to establish the route my connection died, perhaps i was doing something wrong?

Based on your IP address, I'm going to assume that the connection you're trying to ssh over, is an MTN connection, regardless of whether you're using Linux or not, it sounds like an issue for MyBroadband's MTN forumites to help you sort out, i.e. Linux is unlikely to be the cause of your hassles.
 
I've just tried, and I was able to establish an ssh session from an MTN connection.
Using the 'internet' APN and my assigned IP address was 172.28.25.65.

In that case unspokenchaos will have to provide more diagnostic info.

@ginggs, what are the other MTN APNs? - maybe unspokenchaos is using the auto APN selection or some other APN - perhaps received OTA on an HSPA phone...

There is 'myMTN' which is supposedly identical to 'internet', and then there is an 'MTNvpn' which give you a routable IP address, but you need to be provisioned for it.
 
thanks IC and ginggs

i followed the IPv4 tunneling example on this link

http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.tunnel.gre.html

i have MTNVPN on my simcard but i used "internet" as the apn when i tunneled.
my internet died when i entered on this command

ip route add 10.0.2.0/24 dev netb

on my desktop (being Network A according to the example)
any idea's...?
