I recently installed sshd (using ssh-host-config and cygrunsrv) on an up-to-date cygwin on which the ssh client works. sshd starts, but when I try to access the cygwin sshd from other boxes on the LAN, their known-good ssh clients hang. How to fix? Details:
The cygwin box runs winxp sp3 and is regularly Windows Update-d. Its cygwin is up-to-date per setup-2.686 and ftp://mirrors.kernel.org. The cygwin box has been successfully running the ssh client with ssh-agent and keychain for some time. It is on a LAN (router running DD-WRT) with several linux boxes running ubuntu karmic (also up-to-date) which run both the ssh client and server. Each of the boxes has static DHCP leases (aka reserved IP#s). I have the same ID on all boxes. Two of the linux boxes are 192.168.1.102 and 192.168.1.104. The cygwin box (192.168.1.106) has long been able to ssh/scp to either linux box. I'd like to get sshd working on the cygwin box, both for convenience and as a dry-run for installing sshd on a cygwin box at my office. So I installed sshd on the cygwin box using instructions=openssh.README. Packages={cygrunsrv, openssh} were previously installed, so I ran ssh-host-config, choosing to run sshd as a service using cygrunsrv. I rebooted the cygwin box, and it successfully started sshd.exe (per Task Manager). When I do (on the cygwin box) ping 192.168.1.102 ssh -l me 192.168.1.102 the cygwin box connects to the linux box promptly (using ssh-agent). When I do (from either linux box) ping 192.168.1.106 I get response from the cygwin box. But when I do ssh -l me 192.168.1.106 the shell hangs until ^C. No routing or other errors, but no connection, either. However if I do (from 192.168.1.102) ssh -l me 192.168.1.104 I get a prompt connection. So how to to make sshd on the cygwin box accept connections?
