I didn't say that machine, I said a machine, as in any other machine
not on the same local network. I am assuming if the OP wants to work
with grid computing he has access to some other
server/desktop/whatever which is connected to the internet. And he
doesn't have to drive there, he can always use ssh. The OP never said
ssh to some machine outside is not working, so its a fair assumption
that he can.
well, you can use 20 different machines to achieve a result
or simply change a port so it is not blocked by the isp
what do you think is smarter?
I am no expert, I just said what worked for me in the past. I ssh into
many systems everyday so changing to non-standard ports is
inconvenient. Rather than speculate what other ways might work I chose
to suggest what has worked for me in the past.
In any case I don't think many ISPs forward all ports to the user.
Depending on their policy, they will forward certain ports. If its a
non-standard port, and the ISP forwards selective ports it is more
likely that those will be blocked.
In any case I think Ed's suggestion is something the OP should try too.
