I live at a apartment complex where the internet is run by bigpond. When you buy data/time you get a local IP. Is their anyway for me to be able to ssh into one of my computer(no access to the router settings).
So, you are behind a NAT?
Are the computer you are going to SSH within the same network as you?
You're probably going to have to give us more information. If your computers are both connected to this apartment network then they're probably isolated from each other so you can't mess around with your neighbours stuff. How do you connect to this network? If I were you I would connect a router to the connection and then connect your stuff to the router, that way you can access everything on your network and your network can access the internet.
If your computers are on a LAN that you control, then there shouldn't be any issue connecting to them by SSH, all you need is their host name or IP address.
I am on a bigponds LAN network, no access to the router setting and want to SSH into my computer from another network. The network provides you with one connectable device, allowing routers. I believe you are able to ping everyone else on the network. I have no trouble shelling into my PC while I am on my network/router which is connected to bigponds. But want to SHH into my computer when I am on a different network. So the ideal situation would be if the packets were to be sent to bigpond->My Router->My PC. If I was living at a house and had a line in the packets would go My Modem/Router->My PC. I believe that I could use hamatchi but I was wondering if their was a better way.
Oh I see. Well that's pretty tricky, if you're behind a NAT firewall that you don't control then I'm not sure there's anything you can do. Does UPnP work? you might be able to get your SSH server to open a port using that. Otherwise maybe you could talk to bigpond or whoever runs the connection and ask if they can open the port for you.
Thanks any way. UPnP doesn't work, doubt they will let me open a port.
