I wish my answer was that simple! Ok, I'm off to try chatgpt... Wow,
I'm impressed... It hasn't help me find the issue, other than the
interesting fact that the file server is responding to the SYN request
just fine, but the laptop isn't seeing it! (wireshark on both sides - is
your friend!)
All sorts of nice ideas. It does get a bit stuck on some ideas, and
repeats them even after I've tried to tell it that isn't applicable.
Oh, well. I'm now going to try rebooting the laptop and see if that
fixes it....

By using ChatGPT I was able to determine SSH was not installed on my

Rusty,
I was unable to SSH into my desktop from a new Ubuntu VirtualBox
guest this morning. Was able to ping. Have not had the time to
resolve.
My response is to your mentioning AI. I use the free version of
ChatGPT. It is version 3.5 It responds to normal language. Ask it
a question like you would ask me. Then refine your question based on
what it's response is.
I just went to https://chatgpt.com/ and did not sign in and asked
"Why do I get an error when trying to SSH into my kubuntu desktop
from a ubuntu 24.04 server running on VirtualBox. I an ping."
Notice I misspelled can at the very end.
These questions are called prompts. And are regular English.
I got a ton of information... And I can continue to refine my
question. In this case it looks like this is all I might need.
I created a YouTube video on using AI to create PHP programs :

Hopefully the answer isn't that *I'm* the insane one! ;-)
So, my laptop, which is running Linux Mint 20.2 Uma, and my file
server have suddenly had a falling-out. They used to talk to each
other just fine, but now the file server, running Linux Mint 19.3
Tricia, slams my laptop into the deny list as soon as I try to SSH
in to it. And I don't (believe I have) automatic update enabled on
either computer, and I certainly don't remember doing anything to
the laptop or the server related to networking. The laptop has an
NFS connection to the file server - or it HAD before the blocking!
The file server has no problem ssh-ing to the laptop (no surprise
there, of course).
Initially I thought it was some problem with port 161, but I added
that (and the laptop IP address!) in to the portsenty ignore file,
and it still got flagged.
It isn't in hosts.deny, nor is it in the portsentry bad guys list.
I looked (find /etc -type f -print0|xargs -0 egrep <laptopIPaddr>')
on the file server:
Tue Jul 09 14:02:30 RustyC ~ $ cat /tmp/finding.laptop
/etc/portsentry/portsentry.ignore.static:myLaptopIP
/etc/portsentry/portsentry.ignore:myLaptopIP
/etc/portsentry/portsentry.ignore.static~:myLaptopIP
Tue Jul 09 14:05:59 RustyC ~ $
(I hacked the local IP to the string 'myLaptopIP'. What is actually
there is the actual IP addr).
So, I removed (uninstalled) portsentry from the file server,
rebooted, and tried again. Still blocked! Waited about a day,
still blocked. So, I changed the IP address of the laptop - the
server blocks the laptop!
Just for fun, I changed my laptop's IP again and tried mounting the
file server via NFS, without doing anything else (no attempt to ssh,
etc) - blocked, as far as I can tell. BUT! I can still ping the
file server from the laptop!
Checked iptables - NOTHING in any table on the server. I'm totally
stumped, and about to re-install Linux on both the Laptop and the
file server. (One of these days I hope to get time to fool with AI
for this kind of thing, but haven't yet had the time...)
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
