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!
