I wasnt sure where to put this, since both of my boxes are slackware i posted it here. I am having ssh issues, im going from a 64 bit slackware 13.37 to 32 slackware 13.1. Now I can connect from the 64bit box with windowsxp pro using putty, to the 32 bit slackware box, but i get an error on the slackware 64 bit which says no route to host. It is the same computer, host name is the same and router ipaddress is the same on either windows or slackware boot. It isnt a fire wall, as i had none, until a couple minutes ago, of which i still get the same error. Is there something i am required to do to set up ssh on this box. Oh just for the record, I cannot connect to the 32 bit slackware box with my macbook pro either.

Thanks in advance

So then the issue doesn't sound like it is with the 64 bit machine at all, if the MBP can't connect either. Are you able to ping the Slackware 13.1 machine from the MBP or Slackware 13.37? Are you trying to use hostnames, or IPs? Can we assume all three machines are on the same network?

I set my router to dmz for the slack 13.1 box, and now i can ping it,with 0% packet loss, however I still cannot ssh into it. yes three computers one router. I am using ipadress for ssh not hostname. I am wondering if i set something up on the 13.1 box , and didnt realise it ...regarding ssh permissions.

alright i tried to ssh from teh 13.1 box to teh 13.37 box i get no route to host,, as well ... router??

ok i reset my router and it suddenly works. ipaddress changed of course, but I can fix that.
Thanks all for the help,,, watch them routers,,
