>>1. You have a "firewall" on that computer blocking SSH access.
1. No firewall on either... plain vanilla qube2 install with all appropriate
patches installed. Worked for several times, and then I did the stupid
"login shawn" thing, and no connect since.

2. No restrictions on the server site that I have set up. See above.
How would I check those files? Hosts.allow and hosts.deny?  And I mean start
from "login as root" and go from there, I really have no idea how to do
*anything* in the qube. (I'm learning fast, tho)

>>3. You have a firewall on the server which blocked access from that IP.
>>Can you http to the server from that computer?
3. Yep, I can get in with http on any computer... and I have no firewall
running on the Qube...
Also, I've changed the IP address of this machine, rebooted the Qube2 and my
machine several times, changed the computer name of this machine, and
reinstalled tcpip, and *all* networking components on this machine. (due to
another issue, that is now resolved)
I can do everything except putty into the Qube2 with this particular
machine, is there something I could look at from another machine that might
tell me why it doesn't like this one? (I can putty from my other box fine)

TIA as always!
