Spell out your words, and write clearly please.

Do you mean RedHat ENTERPRISE 4, or RedHat 4? One is fairly new, the other isn't. And you should just have to make sure the SSH daemon is started. Type in "/etc/init.d/sshd status". If it's not running, type in "/etc/init.d/sshd start".

If you want to enable/disable options, modify what's there, read the man page on sshd_config, or look on Google for any of the MANY how-tos.

ok,

the service is started but, I can't able to access the server..

Do you have a firewall?
is port 22 forwarded to the server on the router?
try to connect from the server

Code:

ssh 127.0.0.1

You "can't able to access"?? In what way? What error(s) do you get? What user are you trying to log in as?

As repo said...check your firewall, and check to make sure you can access it via the localhost address. Chances are, you'll have to allow SSH through your firewall, if you have one enabled.

Conditions:

You're posts disagree on which distro you've got; your first seems to be RHEL 4.4 ( a bit old but still current) but your last says RHL 9 which has been obsolete/unsupported and not patched for many years.
If you've got the latter, replace with something current eg RHEL 5.4 or the free Centos version.

Again, SPELL OUT YOUR WORDS AND WRITE CLEARLY. It's "Fedora core", and "please".

If you're not getting an IP address on reboot, how about telling us how the system is set up? Are you using DHCP? Cable plugged in when you boot? Getting any errors?? If you tried to Google this, you'd have found:

from RedHat, telling you what to edit, and how.
