Hello,

I am having intermittent trouble logging into a remote linux machine
depending on the machine from which I am trying to log from.  I am
logging in from windows XP machines with cygwin and cygwin's ssh.

- If I try to log in from my windows desktop to the rhel5 that sits
next to it, things work
- If I try to log in from my windows laptop from home, to the rhel5, I
get `Permission denied, please try again'
- If I first log into my windows desktop from my laptop, I can then
log into the rhel5 from my desktop.

It seems to me that the rhel5 is refusing the connection from my
laptop because of the type of network connection or latency (pinging
from laptop to rhel5 is 200-300 msec and from windows desktop to rhel5
is < 5 msec), or some other such issue.  But does that make sense?

The frustrating thing is that a few months ago (when I last attempted
this) I was able to log in remotely from my laptop, even from across
the pacific.

Thanks,

Mirko
