Re: newbie question on port forwarding(and ssh, netcat)

Thanks Joe, Brian, Murphy

As I post above, I forgot to say all these experiments were done in my home on my laptop...
Now I am in my office and re-do all this experiment.
To be short, now all experiment which is done with ip address works well, while if I do ssh USER@DEBIAN, it will say:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname debian: Name or service not known

I am wondering, who(or what device,server) will resolve the hostname? Is it possible to resolve my laptop's name from my office??

Hello. You can use such services as no-ip.com or dyndns.org to create a DNS A-record for your home external IP-address. This DNS record will be resolved everywhere.
Also you can modify the 'hosts' file on your work computer (/etc/hosts in Linux and c:\windows]system32\drivers\etc\hosts in windows) and put the name of your home computer there. With second approach you'll be able to resolve the name on your work computer only.
