This issue has not been address yes as I was playing with setting up a wireless router to replace the hub.

You can say that again about firewalls making things especially interesting. I found that the MSI box that I could connect to by fish by SSH did not have a firewall as I intended when I set it up. I did not check status of HP as that currently has a test setup in it that will be eliminated once I have the MSI and IBM boxes working as needed. I found that the box I was NOT able to SSH into DID HAVE a fire wall installed. Wonder when and how I managed to install it as I do not like firewalls in computers I am experimenting with; they are nice for security but hell on problem solving when the issue is NOT involved with security. Anyway having NO knowledge of ip tables I have attached mine as I believe the box should have a firewall. The ip tables is followed by an additional questions. ______________________________________________________________________ # $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.69 2004/05/23 23:59:53 dtucker Exp $ # This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file.

In particular should #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 be uncommented? Thanks
