okay, so I bought a used computer to do Linux from scratch on. Well, I'm going to ssh from my primary computer to the new computer but got a 'Connection timed out' error. After googling for a bit I discovered ufw was to blame.
after I disabled the firewall I could ssh from 192.168.1.101 <parasite> to 192.168.0.4 <host>
the error I got going the other way was the connection timed out error:
ssh
mike@192.168.1.101
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.101 port 22: Connection timed out
After googling some more I thought perhaps openssh-server wasn't installed... but it is. So please.... what is the problem? I verifed openssh-client is installed but I don't know what it could be. Could you help me out?
