no acces with ssh

kvtournh · 12-10-2003, 09:58 AM

Hi, this might be a newbie question but anyway lets give it a try.

I have an account on two computers. The problem is that from time to time i want to use ssh on computer A to gain acces on computer B.

But for some reason my ssh just doesn't go.
On computer B I am in the hosts.allow file and some other users too. The strange thing is that other users are able to gain acces on computer B using ssh.
The one difference between me and other users is that I am from an other subnet.

can anybody try to help me out?

thanks

Possibilities:
1)box A does not have SSH installed
2)box B is not really running an SSH service, and what you heard about other people just isn't true
3)box B has a firewall which blocks you out
4)your entry in hosts.allow has a typo

Try to ssh in, then paste the session here so we can look at it. I bet this is a firewall problem.

1) Box A has SSH installed
2) Box B is running sshd and its possible for me to connect from other terminals that are allowed
3) I don't know if box B has a firewall witch blocks out different subnets, i will have to check that
4) no typo in hosts.allow

this is the reply i get from box B
ssh: connect to host talvin1 port 22: Connection timed out

What i also have found is that it is not possible to ping box A from box B, but box B can ping other boxes. And the other boxes can ping box A.
