By that you mean an external firewall? > The sshd is listening to port 22. > But when I tried to connect to this server, the error > message below occurred. > > ssh: connect to host mouse1 port 22: Connection refused > > Any idea to fix that? If the answer to my above question is yes, then you have to enable sshd use of port 22 on Windows XP's own firewall. Otherwise, I don't know, but "connection refused" means something is listening on that port and refusing connections so you should start by looking out what is listening there (netstat -ba | grep ssh), if it is Cygwin's sshd then check your configuration /etc/sshd_config .
