Andrew Schulman Fri, 5 Mar 2010 20:11:16 +0000 (UTC) > Agreed. Yep. For the benefit of the next poor dumb <bleep/> (and perhaps some debugging instructions could go in openssh.README?) (and presuming * one is running winXP with theme=Classic * windows commands are in the cygwin path ), the resolution process was 1 Determine sshd's windows process#. Lookup sshd.exe in Task Manager, or run $ tasklist | fgrep -ie 'sshd' You should get response like > sshd.exe 2280 Console 0 4,800 K where process#=2280. 2 Determine the port# on which that process# is running. In bash, run $ netstat -ano | fgrep -e <process# from previous step/> You should get response like > TCP 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 2280 where port#=22. 3 Add an exception for that port# to Windows Firewall: Start>Settings>Control Panel>Windows Firewall>Exceptions>Add Port: Name=sshd (or whatever text you like) Port number=<port# from previous step/> hit button=OK 4 Test connection from ssh client. (Presumably on another device, but I'm not sure that's required.) Reboot not required. thanks, Tom Roche <tom_ro...@pobox.com> -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
