linksys router and ssh

I have a linksys router model befsr41 running with firmware 1.46.2. I am
having a problem with ssh and X forwarding. When I login in to a remote
machine B with ssh, X forwarding is fine. If I then go from B to another
remote machine C, X forwarding no longer works. I get the following error
message:

X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

If I bypass the linksys router and connect directly, I don't experience
any problems. Does anyone know how to fix this problem without
having to deactivate the firewall on my router?

thanks,
ashif.

I just ditched my befsr11 (very similar to the befsr41), and replaced it
with a WRT54G.

My befsr11 was nothing but trouble. I have a webpage describing what a
mess it was at http://dcs.nac.uci.edu/~strombrg/linksys.html.

I'm glad I gave Linksys another chance though, because the WRT54G runs a
linux 2.4 kernel, and there are many alternative distributions available
for it.

If you don't want the wireless feature, you can always just turn it off,
and there you've got a 4 port DSL/Cable router running linux.

Yes, the router is doing NAT as well. I forgot to mention that the above
problem did not occur with an older version of the firmware. I guess I'm
also wondering if there is some way to fix the problem without reverting
to the older firmware.

Did you contact Linksys tech support? If this started with a patch,
perhaps they could shed some light on what they changed in the patch, or
maybe they hosed it!?
