Zyxel NSA325 no SSH access solved

[jeajea]

PC was on a different subnet

I installed Arch Linux on my NSA325 using the instructions here

http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/zyxel-nsa325

except I had to boot from the rear USB port near the side of the case.

It appears to boot from the hard drive and it gets an IP address via DHCP. The power LED is steady blue and the system LED is steady yellow. The disc1 and disc2 occasionally flash green. It responds to a ping on the IP address it was assigned.

When I try to connect via SSH using putty all I get is a blank screen.

If I remove the hard disk it fails to boot.

I have 2 working Pogoplug E02 systems with Arch installed so I could put the drive in a USB case and connect it to one of Pogoplugs. However, I don’t know what to look for.

So, with solved in the title.. whats going on?

(btw DUH, i forgot to mention the USB port in the front can't be used of install!)

I solved it after I had posted the problem. Can SSH be configured to accept connections from other subnets?

I am mildly surprised it didn't out of the box. Should be possible.
