Re: SSH connection problem

Are you running iptables? (Okay for n00b, that would be a firewall) That
could be blocking access to port 22. That's my first guess. If you're
still getting timeouts and not a request for login, then something it
not allowing you access to that port.


ps -A | grep iptable gives nothing so i guess iptables is not running. or is
there any other way to check it?




You've demonstrated that you can ssh between the 2 boxes in one
direction, that eliminates a network problem for the most part. Try
shutting down your firewall on your desktop and try to ssh from the
laptop again.


i did installed firestarter but i don't think it's running (it need to be
manually initiated). also, if the iptables is running, how to shut it down?
