Does "ps -C sshd" give a result on the server you are connecting to? Does netstat -a on the server you are connecting to show that it is listening on port 22?
If you telnet to port 22 on the server from your client, do you get a response? If you telnet to port 22 on the server from the server (ie telnet localhost 22) does that give a response? If it does, I would imagine that your firewall configuration on the server disallows connections to port 22 from remote machines. - John Airey Internet systems support officer, ITCSD, Royal National Institute for the Blind, Bakewell Road, Peterborough PE2 6XU, Tel.: +44 (0) 1733 375299 Fax: +44 (0) 1733 370848 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Agnostic (Greek) = Ignoramus (Latin) >-----Original Message----- >From: Kevin A.
