can't ssh into shell account

nick623 · 07-30-2006, 09:30 PM

I recently installed fedora 5. Now when I try to ssh into a shell account with cyberspace.org it just hangs.

Weird thing is the other computer I have (Redhat9) has no problem loging in via SSH.
Could this be an issue with SSH version?
Or maybe is it SeLinux.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Ok I can't even connect to www.cyberspace.org via firefox on the fedora 5 computer. Yet the redhat9 connects no problem.

This is a rather old shell account. I'm just curious why my fedora 5 computer can't even connect to the site.

Can your FC5 machine SSH into any other computer?

For what it's worth, the link you gave doesn't load for me either. I tried firefox and IE, so I think it may be a site issue

For what its worth I have 2 kernel versions availble on boot. Decided to choose older one everything worked fine. I can go to http://www.cyberspace.org. I can ssh into my old shell account there. Everything works fine.

I have a question. How can I make my older kernel install my default in grub.conf?

any input appreciated.
