Problems with connecting from the internet

Problems with connecting from the internet

shadowrazor 02 Jan 2008 19:17

Since a few days i can't connect via the internet. Normally I used ftp (port 21), putty (port 22) and lighttpd (port 80), but now i can't connect anymore from another place altough the ports are open on my router for the correct IP adres. The strange thing is that putty partially works, I can connect but when I try to log in he says that my password is wrong. The problems started when I came back from vacation and I plugged my mybook in again.
Is there anyone that what's wrong?

Grtz, Jonathan

Can you connect locally within your local area network ? Can you use the web-interface for configuration ? Sounds a bit strange that it says incorrect password… maybe you got hacked?

Maybe when it rebooted something to reset?

johanfa, yes i can connect use all the functions of the mybook like it should be: ftp, ssh and the webinterface. But it only says incorrect password when I try to connect from the internet. It's like the mybook is suddenly blocking everything coming from the internet.

Bobbias, the only things I changed that I can remember is chmod for some directories so that I could connect with them from the ftp.

Is MioNet installed on any of your computers? If it is and it starts, it can reset the password and make other changes in MyBook's configuration. This happened to be before I removed it from my desktop and disabled the MioNet server application on the MyBook unit.
