Have you checked that sshd is running on your Fedora machine?

Are you trying to ssh with "root" as the account or using another user?

What ssh client are you using on your Win7 laptop?

Yes sshd is running on base machnine!!!

I had tried to login as root and my user account also!

I am using Putty on my window7 and tried with kitty also!

Does Putty have any extended logging or "verbose" output you can enable?

Also post the output of from your Fedora server.

I am in office right now, will provide you abstract details when i reach home!

Thank you,

Is the fedora machine able to ssh to itself using both 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.36 for the address?

If it can't with either, then it's a firewall/sshd config issue on the Fedora machine
If it can with 127.0.0.1 but not with 192.168.1.36 then it could be a firewall issue or a networking issue on the Fedora machine
If it can with both, then it could be a firewall issue or a Windows/router issue

If it can't ssh to itself, you can use "ssh -vvv" to get more verbose output.

You can also check /var/log/secure (or whatever Fedora's equivalent is) for any related errors.
