I called again D-Link italian help desk. Today they stopped me before
I could speak because "yes, we have succeeded to replicate the problem
here. And yes, it *is* a bug in the *router* firmware. We have already
signalled it to R&D, which will fix it in the next release of the
firmware..."
So, it is official: D-Link DSL-504T DOES NOT LET SSH THROUGH (**). DO
NOT BUY IT if you need such services now. Please ask to your local
D-Link office to have the FW fixed as soon as possible if you need it.
Thanks to everybody who was so kind to help me and suggest a lot of
tests. I have learned several useful things anyway, thanks to your
patience.
Ciao,
Marco F.
(**) and, to the best of my knowledge, is the first from that brand to
have this problem. I bought it after asking to several local Linux
sysadmins who used previous models without problems.
