So I don't seem to be able to make connections *to* my eeePc that's sitting connected to a 3-G router, so the alternative is to get it to connect 'outwards' using ssh and to tunnel through that ssh connection from outside to enable me to connect to the eeePc and do anything necessary remotely.
I really only need command line access. Are there any alternative ways of doing this or is ssh port-mapping the best way to do it?
*if* you've got a vm/permanently connected machine/server somewhere (I'd guess you have otherwise where would you terminate the ssh connection...) then I'd suggest using vpn software like OpenVPN instead to that box. Then you're not limited to just the ssh port.
OK, I'll take a look, I hope it's not too big, the eeePC is getting a bit tight for space now.
The other issue is somehow to restart the connection if/when it goes down (which it does fairly frequently, this is a somewhat flakey area for 3-G) - any clever ideas?
Surely that should just be handled by the 3G router? ;)
Yes, it does seem to manage quite well actually. The connection disappears at intervals but does also always seem to come back.
