Subject: Re: can't ssh from host to remote
I understand now..... I bought a new tower w/o a wireless card and so to
connect it to the net (so I didn't need to make another 50 foot ethernet
cable) I had to hardwire from the modem/router I bought from qwest to a
router I bought before they started to combine modems and routers and
connect that to the new box and my brother's computer. And that is why I
have another network and probably has something to do with the ssh
difficulties too. however, if that is the case why can I ssh one way but
not the other?
