Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 localhost:2208 : LISTEN
tcp 0 0 localhost:55759 : LISTEN
tcp 0 0 localhost:ipp : LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 :ssh *: LISTEN

Second thing to do is have a look in the /var/log/syslog after
attempting to connect and see if that reports any problems.

I checked the logs and nothing related to SSH found. All i could see
were messages like this:

Sep 30 17:08:02 DEC-U gconfd (root-8125): Resolved address
"xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only
configuration source at position 2
Sep 30 17:08:02 DEC-U gconfd (root-8125): Resolved address
"xml:readonly:/var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults" to a read-only
configuration source at position 3
Sep 30 17:08:02 DEC-U gconfd (root-8125): Resolved address
"xml:readonly:/var/lib/gconf/defaults" to a read-only configuration
source at position 4


Third thing to do is to connect with about three -v options on the ssh
command. You will get lots of information, some of which may give you a
clue as to what is happening.


I can connect from within the computer itself but not from the ouside.
I am not currently at home so i had to ask my wife do all this for
me,. She was able to access the localhost but i was still not able to
access the server from the outside. I have the firewall disabled now.

Post output to this list if the answer is not obvious.

Regards,
Tony.

Thanks for your time Tony. Any clues from what i sent?
