Now, the correct questions to ask would be: * Have you checked the backend of the auth.log on the server
I don't understand that. What is the backend? If you mean /var/log/ auth.log there is nothing in there relating to SSH.
Probably worth checking /var/log/daemon.log then.
* Have you tried running ssh with the -vvvv option to get lots of shiny debug outputNo. I had forgotten to do that. As I'm testing at the moment via my neighbours router I'll have to wait until tomorrow evening to retry.
* Is this the same laptop both inside and outside the networkYes the very same.
* Have you got a special ~/.ssh/config entry for that desktopI don't understand that either. What sort of 'special' entry? I have the following files in ~/.ssh on the server (desktop):
authorized_keys identity.pub id_rsa.pub identity id_rsa known_hosts
OK - you haven't got a ~/.ssh/config file, so you haven't got a special entry for that machine ;) i.e. it'll fall back to defaults and most likely use id_rsa for identification. Which distribution?
But, certainly, I'd do the ssh -vvvv and make sure that you're definately connecting to the same machine when in and outside the network, there's a small possibility that you have your router doing NAT to the wrong machine, but not knowing your network, that's impossible to say ;)
