I have a Dell machine installed with ubuntu 10.04. I use it in my lab. It has wireless connection right now. I need to access this machine from home. At home I have macintosh.
On my ubuntu machine
Code:ifconfig
There is nothing in hosts.allow and hosts.denykhan@ubuntu:~$ ifconfig

On macintosh machine at home, I did ping but did not work. I did ssh, did not work.# /etc/hosts.deny: list of hosts that are _not_ allowed to access the system.

Code:ping 141.115.36.122
PING 141.115.36.122 (141.115.36.122): 56 data bytesWhen I do as bleow:Request timeout for icmp_seq 0

Code:ssh khan@141.115.36.122
I get the following messages after awhile:
ssh: connect to host 141.115.36.122 port 22: Operation timed outAll above things, I learned by googling. Even I modified hosts.allow file by going into root permisions on ubuntu machine, as such, ALL:ALL, but did not work. etc.
Any how, I can access lab servers from home by [ssh username@servername]. But now I want to access my personal ubuntu machine placed at lab.
What should I need on Macintosh machine or Ubuntu machine.
Please help me step by step. Its is my first time to connect remotely and i will be much happy to do that.
Thanks in advance!
