[K12OSN] LTSP/Router

[John Lucas]

First step is to determine if the problem is on the Linux server or on your 
perimeter firewall. Can you ssh into the Linux server from the LAN? Are there 
address restrictions for sshd in /etc/hosts.allow?

If the answer to the first question is yes, and the answer to the second is 
no, then I suspect the problem is at your perimeter firewall/router. You 
would need to be able to check the settings there to see if port 22 is being 
forwarded to the *correct* IP address. This assumes that you have 
successfully opened up IPTables firewall on the server (as you asserted). It 
would be good to verify that too.
