I have Debian Sarge installed.

I am trying to ssh to my school's server and for some reason it just sits there.
I have all the openssh installed including client and server and I know I am typing it in right:

I know it is installed fine because just typing ssh gives me the command and list of flags.

I also tried installing putty for linux and whenever I run it I get the output:

Just to make sure, I tried it in windows and also pinged the address and it worked just fine. So the server is up.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanx

sorry, maybe my answer is dumb... but did you try just using the server name not ip? coz I'm connecting to my university server without problem using ssh doing that...
for info i do $ssh username@xx.xx.xxxxx.edu

Firewall??

The server is a dummy server just for the class so I could try to resolve the name.


Of course I checked the firewall. That was the first spot.


I found out I probably need to enable port forwarding so I am going to look into it.

You may need to cache the servers host key. Try logging in without -l username:

ssh 65.116.22.xxx

and you will see a message like:

The server's host key is not cached in the registry. You
have no guarantee that the server is the computer you
think it is........

Though now that I reread your post and putty said no host I am thinking dns. You certainly will have to have port 22
