There is not SSH server running in 192.168.0.3 or you have a firewall blocking the port. From 192.168.0.3 do: telnet localhost 22 If the connection dies, nothing will be able to connect EVEN if the SSH ser is running (which I doubt) Once you validate that the SSH server is running in 192.168.0.3, and accessible to localhost (127.0.0.1) then go to the other box and do: telnet 192.168.0.3 22 If you don't get an answer, you have a firewall problem.
