Re: brand new server timing out for sshd connections

2007-01-28 Thread Derek Ragona
You have too many variables.  Try eliminating the router and use a hub or 
switch, eliminate the DNS add a record to /etc/hosts for your pc.  Then see 
what happens.

The symptoms sound a lot like DNS issues.  Try using the host command to
do a few forward and reverse lookups on machines that you're trying to
connect from.  If they take a long time, that's likely the problem.

The problem is, is that you have conflicting ip address on your network. 
Another server / computer on your network probally has the same IP address 
as the one you just setup.


Make shure you check the ip's on your network or assign your server a new ip 
and then see if it still does it.

ah, this sounds suspiciously like it might be the solution to my problem.  
especially, since the server works for a few minutes after a reboot, and then 
stops.

as soon as i return to that site, ill check that out.  

btw, is there a way i can try to send my tcp packets to a specific mac 
address?  i know the mac of my target server, if i could get it to talk back 
to me, i could

Yes, arp -s hostname mac address. You should probably do this on both 
hosts.
