Hi, John! Of course thanks againn! So, let's start. this time you asked
- From your data it appears that you can ssh to the localhost which means your sshd server is - running. However, you can't connect to your localhost from the Linux machine; the connection - times out. Your other examples all look like they are connections from the localhost to other - machines, which all appear to work. - - Is this a Windows XP machine with Service Pack 2 installed? Have you opened up the firewall - to allow port 22 through? If not, that explains your problem. Port 22 is blocked by default. - - The firewall won't block ssh connections originating from your localhost to other machines. - That would be consistent with the data you've shown. Yes, it's a Windows XP machine with Service Pack 2 installed. I added an exception for port 22 in Firewall options; anyway I could have done some mistakes so I ask you to explain me, please, the correct procedure to allow foreing incoming through port 22. best regards giuseppe -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
