Are you the administrator of this host?
On the host: 1. Make sure your internet connection works. Run /sbin/ifconfig to make sure you have a ip address and try and ping google.com. 2. Find out if ssh is running: ps -ef | grep ssh 3. Find out if iptables restricts incoming ssh connections: /sbin/iptables -L -v 4. Make sure you can ping the host from your windows host. |
Hi.
I was in a similar situation -- I could ssh out from the newly-installed SuSE 10.3 box, but could not ssh in from any other box -- I didn't try with putty, however. I checked and sshd was running, so I assumed it was the default settings for the firewall. Here is what worked for me: K Menu -> Computer -> Admin (Yast) -> (enter root password) -> Security and Users -> Firewall -> Allowed Services (left side list). Add "Secure Shell Server". Save, finish, etc. Then everything was fine; I could connect with ssh from other boxes. Best wishes ... cheers, makyo |
Makyo - many thanks for your post, your Yast solution also worked for me. I had not realized that Suse had a firewall which blocked ssh.
