1) don't connect as root - won't work unless you eanble in sshd.conf
2) check if you have ssh service running

Code:

ps aux|grep ssh

If this is over a remote link via broadband check your firewall that it allows incoming traffic through port 22. Also why did you make this a poll?

netconfig must be run as root and it saves information. of course, you can do it by hand in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
