i haven't looked carefully at all those iptables rules, but I suspect
this might be where the problem lies.
What happens if you run the following commands in order, on the desktop?
sudo iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
sudo iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
sudo iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
sudo iptables -F # Comment (flushes all existing iptables chains)
This should give you a totally "open" firewall on the desktop, and thus
you should be able to reach sshd from the laptop. After those commands
the output from "sudo iptables -L" on both laptop and desktop should
look like the output below from your laptop.
however, on laptop the same command has output:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
it seems empty. is it normal?
"Normal" in the sense that this is the output expected when no
iptables / firewall rules are in operation, yes.
I suspect that running the commands I listed above will enable you to
connect from laptop to desktop. If so, then the firewall/iptables
configuration on your desktop is at fault. It's worth a try anyway :)
You can always restore your firewall / iptables settings, if this does
not succeed.
