ssh'ing an xbox

kybishop · 02-23-2006, 11:54 AM

So I'm trying to install Xebian on my xbox. My only problem is, I can't ssh to it.

When i try to ssh the suggested port, i get a time out message.

Are there any commands or programs that will show me all the ip adresses on my router (192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, etc.)

Sometimes you can see where something is connected from the web interface of your router. For example, I can access my Linksys WRT54G at 192.168.1.1 in firefox and one of the pages has a list of IP's already checked out...

Well, i've made progress. Now I know the xbox's ip, but it won't let me connect.

I type the following, and get the following response

Code:

ssh 192.168.1.108
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.108 port 22: No route to host

being an ssh noob, what does this even mean, and any clue as to why it isn't working?

Almost sounds like you forgot to turn the xbox on...

"No route to host"

Maybe there is no route to the host?

Like what gives

Code:

#route -n

Code:

root@ubuntu:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 wlan0
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 wlan0

lol, yes im positive the xbox is on. I can tell its ip from the evox dashboard, and a new ip that shows up when i turn it on in my router's dhcp client table.

Looks good to me.
You say you can't ssh to it. But can you ping it?
If its only ssh then I suspect a firewall problem.
If there is no connection at all, then one of the 2 wlan adaptators is not working/well configured. Remove WEP/WAP and or try to connect from/to another device (PC,..) to see which one of the 2 is problematic.

you can use nmap -sP 192.168.1.* to list all the active clients on ur network (IP, MAC etc...) If your xbox appears in the list, and you can ping the IP it's listed under, then either SSH is not running on the box or a firewall is blocking it (I've installed xebian before without problems). If the route to ur box goes thru ur router, then check there is no internal firewall active, otherwise I don't really know

have you tried;
ssh live@your.xbox.ip

with a password of 'live'

I cannot log on to my xbox with the usual 'ssh your.xbox.ip' but the above works fine
