Mike, whenever you see connection refused, it's usually a layer 4 issue (osi model here), meaning you don't have a service listening on the port (ie. openssh-server not installed/running), or there's a firewall blocking you (that sends rst/fin's back). I'm loathe to say firewalls even, as

Mike, A few questions - which box is client and which is host (for purposes of ssh)? On which box is the rsync program running? Are you using static IP addresses for both boxes? On the client box do you have a known_hosts file in ~/.ssh If you see known_hosts file type cat known_hosts

Also you mentioned networking problems with the address that you are using in for Openssh can you ping the box? try pinging the host box from client using ping -c4 host ip address check for packet loss. If you are losing packets and/or the host cannot be reached than you have a network problem

Try ssh-ing from one host to the other. If the keys conflict with what's in known_hosts, it'll kick out the ssh-keygen line to easily remove the offending key. On Mon, Jul 9, 2012 at 2:21 PM, Michael Havens bmi...@gmail.com wrote: so then delete known_hosts or the contents thereof? **
