Hi Larry, Can you get to lapdog2 to stop and restart the /etc/init,d/sshd daemon? /etc/init.d/sshd restart If you have verified it is on on that server and listening: # /etc/init.d/ssh status # netstat -ant |grep "22" You can then go to your remote system and run nmap with stealth settings to verify that port 22 is not filtered by iptables or something else (listening on eth0 instead of wlan1 or eth1). # nmap -P0 lapdog2 On Sat, Jun 18, 2011 at 4:08 PM, Dazed_75 wrote: > Supplemental information.
