It's not the firewall. It's the ssh configuration, I think. When I connect using the putty on windows, its logs says connection reset by peer. Some things there with the damn ssh configuration.
When I use SSh secure shell from www.ssh.com, it says Connection closed by remote host. Note: This all happened while there is no firewall running. i.e. (/etc/init.d/iptables clear). Should I give up on Linux? Its so frustrating..

Could you repeat the whole process after doing a: /etc/init.d/iptables clear Also, try connecting to the server with the "-v" flag to "ssh" like: ssh -v -l <user_to_connect_as> server/IP-address The "-v" (verbose) will let you know what is happening.
