ssh not working when in a wireless network

Post by tevang » 2015/07/31 09:01:17

I have noticed that I cannot connect through ssh to the computers at the lab whenever I am in a wireless network. In contrast, when I plug in the ethernet cable the problem is resolved. Sometimes I noticed that when I was connected through a cable to a local network and hibernated the laptop, I could connect to other wireless networks. Here is the output I get:

$ ssh -vvv thomaslab
OpenSSH_5.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for *
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to thomaslab [195.134.80.81] port 22.
debug1: connect to address 195.134.80.81 port 22: Connection timed out
ssh: connect to host thomaslab port 22: Connection timed out

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Btw, I use CentOS 6.6 and so do the computers in my lab.

Where are you when this occurs, at home or at the lab?
Perhaps the lab blocks ssh connections from the wireless network.

I am not in the lab. How can I change that setting or deceive the lab's router?

Take it up with your IT department.
