After you ran the ssh-host-config script, did you start the service with: cygrunsrv -S sshd
If not, the service isn't running yet and you won't be able to connect.

Then I installed openssh using the setup utility and tried to follow the instructions you wrote in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README. Unfortunately nothing has changed and I can ssh to outside world but can't do the opposite; nor the ping work(from outside). any idea of what's going on? What do you mean when you say to give the D option when starting sshd with cygrunsrv if this option does not exist for cygrunsrv? thanks bye giuseppe -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ _______________________________________________________ John R Larsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://larsen-family.us -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
