Hi

I have a Nokia M1122 ADSL modem.   Sitting behind the modem is a firewall appliance (IPCop).  The problem is that I can't set up ssh connections from out on the internet.  It should be as simple as opening up pin holes to forward ports through my modem and firewall, but I can't get it to work.

What I want to do is allow authorized ssh connections from the internet through the modem and through the firewall. The ssh ports are not standard (12345 and 2220).  I want one connection (2220) to go to the firewall, and the other (12345) to go to a PC on my network with a static address. No matter what I have tried, I don't seem to be able to break through the modem.  When I try to ssh in from the internet, I get "connection refused". 

It appears that the modem is blocking ssh connection attempts.  The modem is setup on Telecom.  I use dyndns to get the telecom IP.  On my side of the network, all IP addresses are static.  I don't need the modem firewall features so I have tried turning off NAPT, but then I can't connect out to the internet.  I have ticked all the "bridge" boxes.  I have tried setting up pinholes through the NAPT page, but my firewall doesn't record any successful hits.   Stateful Packet Inspection is disabled.

I have the firewall set up to forward the 12345 port onto the internal PC.

Has anyone successfully set up a Nokia M1122 to allow external ssh connections to pass through???
If so, how is it set up?
