Problem setting up my ssh

pocketnl · 08-05-2011, 07:00 AM

Hello,

Yesterday I installed Centos on my "old" pc.
I followed this tutorial to setup my ssh I followed all the steps but when try to connect from my laptop to the server (with putty) it says "Network error: connection timed out".

I hope you guys can help me

First try locally using SSH client.

Did you change the port as suggested?
If you changed the port, did you specify the port in putty?
If you changed the port, you can change it back to test.

If 'm not mistaken sshd uses tcpwrappers; anything in hosts.allow or hosts.deny that can block it

Please run the following (as root) and post output (in code tags):

Code:

# ifconfig

Code:

# netstat -ltnp

Code:

# iptables-save
