RE: scp times out

try telnet 192.168.1.68 22

if you get some prompts then the port is working, if not it's probably being
blocked.

check your firewall settings.

0) Verify default route is in place: netstat -rn (UG should be gateway)
1) Ensure ssh is on on the target machine.
2) Verify ports are open: nmap $target (to ensure iptables are not
limiting ssh access by source/destination or mac address, port knocking)
3) Verify MTU issues if you are in a remote connection or VPN.
4) Travel to the machine and verify it's turned on (laugh), ethernet up, ssh
on!
