SSH and ports
 

I use Mandrake box for my DNS and DHCP server, its IP is 192.168.1.1
before I reinstall linux (same OS) I could connect through Putty port 22 (windows comp) to linux box (mandr), but now putty gives 'host is unreachable' or something like that.... WHY? :eek:

Is sshd running on the server?

Can you ping the server from the client?

Do you have any firewall rules on the server?

ssh runs on server, I can ping from server to client, but not vise versa...
firewall is disabled

What does your conficuration look like - on linux:
ifconfig
route -n

On windows:
ipconfig /all
route print

what information you want?
the main are:
linux : eth0 ip : 192.168.1.1
win : IP: 192.168.1.253
DNS : 192.168.1.1
DHCP: 192.168.1.1
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
